Ok, never even knew about RDS. Read about it in another forum. It's off by default(I guess). Click the menu button and hold it to see if it's on, arrow up or down to turn it on or off. Apparently only certain stations have it, but if they do it shows the name of the radio station and the song title and artist. Pretty cool! I only have 7 stations that I can get that have RDS and only 1 that displays the song info.
This may be old news to some of you but I had no idea about it until now. Hope this helps someone.

Jimp you reminded me of a link I saved cool things (MF's)about your Mustangs about 75 people posted. I do not remember reading about your tip in this thread.

Good info to know! I don't listen to radio much, but when I do, one thing I find annoying is how they never say the song and artist. I'll have to tune in my local stations and see if any of the support this feature.

RDS is very nice. I already knew about it though. I don't like the auto-volume, though. I find it annoying and it seems to over compensate the volume when driving. 
Oh...and to all that are "discovering" things...remember...there's a false bottom in the cup holder, too!!
Seems like alot of people miss this.

I turned RDS on earlier (didn't know about it until I saw this thread), but I didn't get anything from any of the stations I listen to. I know of at least one that definitely does it (I see it in my parents car), but it's not a station I listen to.
Guess I'll have to tune to it just to see it work.

You can set how much the auto-volume adjusts. I set mine down to 2. Seems to make it just about right. You can go up to 6 or 7, but that was definitely too much.

they show everything(title/artist) if the stations have that in their Name bandwidth. There are 2 types of bandwidth, SNSP (name) and text for the artist info. I had this on my Kenwood, and u would have to change the setting depending on the station. I have not figured out if you can do that with the Shaker yet.

I looked in the owners manual to see if it said anything about the RDS. It mentions it, but not really in any great detail. Here is what the manual does say about RDS on page 25....
