I've never heard of dealers outsourcing a radio replacement other than sending the radio out for repair or exchange. I always remove and re-install radios at my work.
I wonder if that outside vendor knows about the unit needing to be programmed. The radios in the Mustang and several other new Fords need to be programmed with Ford's computerized scan tool in order to work properly.

Yeah, it has been posted before that the 'B' shaker is not the cure. They started to use the 'B' version before the TSB came out.
I got mine replaced after the TSB and so far it is working.

I tried to use my CD player the first day i got my car, lil more than a week ago, so I assume it has the B version, and the Cd player kept saying error. Drove around for a while, turned car off, let it sit and tried again after firing her up and havent had any problems since with the CD player/error.

I recieved my GT on 3/31/05. I have a "B" version of the Shaker 1000 and have had no problems. <knocking on wood>
I almost thought I had the skipping problem until I remebered that the 1st track of Operation Mindcrime is very short and there is a slight delay between the tracks with the MP3 player.

I am on my 3rd Shaker....this one and the one before were "B"s. All 3 (yeah, even my newest one) started with occasional "Bad Discs"....then it's downhill from there until no cd's are readable. My 3rd one was just put in last tuesday and has already had 5 or 6 "Bad Disc" pop up. I like the sound and look of the radio....but the reliability stinks.

I have a new and perplexing problem
and am on Shaker #2)
If I have a CD in, and go to radio, a lot of the time when I go back to CD it reads
READING DISC
and goes back to the beginning..
Anyone else?

My Shaker 500 produces low volume white noise that increases in volume and then lowers by itself it the radio in on very low. I don't know if it is a "B" unit or not and I haven't had a chance to take it in. It isn't noticeable with the engine running.

Some people have "A" versions that work fine also. I guess it is a luck of the draw.

My service rep told me my dealership outsources thier radio work.

Mine does too. I guess they do not have enough radio work to justify a radio repairman's salary. So they have a guy come in on Thursdays to perform any radio work.
