shaker 500/partial sync install
First up i have read the other threads on this topic but with all the different data in them and people talking about 11-12 cars and 13-14 cars i just wanted to start something seperate and try to get my question resolved.
Basically i used to have a 14 gt premium, zero complaints on the sound and loved just leaving my ipod hooked up. No longer have this car however. I now have a 13 GT base model, and hate the sound system nd the fact that my ipod is now AUX in and does not charge or control from the steering wheel. From my understanding in various forums, it is possible to do a shaker 500 swap with OEM style operation. Below is what im after as it seems some people want the full sync voice control, etc.
Im looking to just swap the premium door panels in, swap in the factory amps, factory shaker 500 headunit, and install sync functions only to the point where i can plug the ipod into a usb jack and have the shaker 500 unit charge the ipod, read the ipod, and have steering wheel control functionality. I dont care for the voice stuff or phone linking or anything. Strictly Shaker 500 system with door subs, and USB ipod functionality like OEM.
Ive already purchased an OEM shaker 500 w/o nav from ebay, looking for insight and guidance on what all i need to accomplish this and parts list, everything needed to run a shaker 500 system with ipod control/charge.

Me and you have been chatting already, but for the general public. Its totally possible and you will have 100% factory operation. You will need door panels, Amp, Radio head unit, Sync module(take out from a 10-14 car), Sync module kit. and thats it if you just want partial functionality. If you want everything working you will need steering wheel buttons (10-12 owners only), microphone mirror, and sync services GPS.
When paired with a 2013 mustang wiring diagram, you can solder and make your own harness in a weekend and get everything hooked up and working. I love the shaker I retrofitted I'm my car. I love it so much I made it into a shaker pro system by adding the extra sub in the back, I like how everything looks factory and how it sounds for a factory system. I had a 2012 challenger with a $2000 aftermarket audio system and I hated the aftermarket subwoofer. At every stop light I would have to turn the radio down because every driver around me would look at my trunk thumping.
