Because you can't just slap some other fancy radio in there, any other attempt and you turn your car's radio slot into a fcking FRANKENSTEIN just to what, fit a fancy old fashioned retro Nissan radio in it? That mustang variant is DESIGNED for the Shaker, deal with it.

What? I don't think you know what your talking about.

I used my hands and it still got damaged, you really gotta be careful with these.

I used a crowbar and it turned out fine

Just don’t pry on it like an ape and you’ll be fine😂 if they’re that brittle and aged it’s time to replace them anyway

yep, screwdrivers are NOT for trim piece removal....

Please shut up u little girl! As long as it's not f'd up mind ur own damn business

Thank you. Glad it helped you.

I am in the habit of not ever having the key on with airbag lights unplugged from working in a car stereo installation shop for many years. However, some vehicles will clear the code themselves as long as it's plugged back in. Many will require a trip to the dealer if you don't have the proper scan tool to reset it. German cars for example but I had a VAG programmer for those and could reset any codes.

just removed the unit.... thanks for the instructions.!!!!! didn't need to move gear selector out of park..... just get parking brake way up as high as you can get it.... took radio case off and got the one cd out that was stuck but one of the flat flex cables is broken so it's junk now cd wise anyway.... 😭

These Ford radios have serious issues. Your better with aftermarket. With failed displays, weak cd players and button wear all common with these Ford radios.

@@gordonbowes7864 Apparently you didn't read my comment. My stock radio is working beautifully! That aftermarket piece of crap didn't last 2 months! It wasn't a cheap aftermarket radio either and it quit in less than two months! I stand by my statement. Stay with the stock radio unless you're going to molest the entire system with new speakers and new woofers! That would run into more than 1000 bucks and it just ain't worth it!

@@grumerguy I did read it and from experience from owning a couple mustangs friends and family having fusions and knowing the odd mechanic on a friend level. These units are crap. Maybe your unit was defective it happens or maybe it was your brand you picked. I never had issues with kenwoods, Sony's.. I'll be putting in a Sony double din shortly in my newest mustang. Those Ford units are crap. On the masses. For the price you can get a way better one that will perform much more tasks for the age of the vehicle. When electronics are made in the masses just like manufacturing car parts picking a company that has a higher quality rate is a better choice. I've never had issues with any of the Sony products I've bought whether it's Walkman, tv's, vcrs disc players, Xperia phones, subs, amps stereo receiver both car and home entertainment, gaming systems. I wouldn't buy a cheap canadian tire brand or a brand that has fallen from glory (RCA is a prime example. A RCA unit from the late 80's doesn't hold the same value of quailty as today. It's the cheaply made brand now)

@@gordonbowes7864 You're missing the point entirely!!! Aftermarket is crap!! Stock is where it's at! When you begin to alter a design, you are in essence saying you know more than the engineer who designed the thing! I'm guessing you don't work in that field. There are some vehicles that just can't take an aftermarket piece of garbage in the dash! As I said. The head unit was professionally installed and 2 hours into a for hour trip, it failed! That was just one way! On the return trip it was four hours of no radio!!! The stock radio that I put back into the car went right in like it was made for it! Imagine that! A stock unit that didn't require any alterations in the wiring and it functioned perfectly for the next trip! I had tunes both there and back! Anytime you put an aftermarket unit in over a stock unit, you are adding many new points of failure! The stock unit works just fine and I have no anxiety of whether or not it's going to continue to deliver sound!! So you go right ahead. Keep adding failure points with your aftermarket garbage. It'll bite you in the butt sooner or later!!

@@grumerguy I'll take my aftermarket stuff built better. Not all aftermarket is better that's what I am saying. I don't go for the cheapest ether. Professionally put in what does thag even mean. You went to Mr.shelby and had him with it in that would be professional. As for the year of that model of car they didn't care about the perfect engineering aspect but more so staying afloat so they didn't have to taken a bail out from the gov't like gm and others did. I can solder wires, I can research parts I don't trust anything the "professionals" Ford been wrong many times when it come to the model of cars I've owned of their. And if I went their road I would of been 1000's of dollars wasted on parts that weren't needed or would of failed adventually anyways. I've worked in many fields and manufactured many car parts Ranging from Toyota, gm to telsa. I'm not someone who doesn't have experience. I never paid someone to put a stereo or sound system in my cars. I've done them all my self and none of failed yet. Same goes for aftermarket parts like brakes, air filters, bail joint assembly, harmonic balancer .. Etc Would I replace my cultch system or bearings with aftermarket.. No some things you don't do that. Would I get cheap China made aftermarket. No none of that shit fits right or last long. I'm telling you from experience this isn't opinion this is hands on knowledge. I've owned my fair share of car brands and this model and type I know most about out of all the ones I've owned. I've had two of this very model (series) of mustang Remember not everyone is a professional even if they say they are Lol

Glad it helped. We have a lot of Mustang videos. Please subscribe to our channel. Thanks! Tom

It is the antenna.

Amazon has inner fender liners for the 2005 - 2009 Mustang. Here is a link: amzn.to/3NoRKbp

My thoughts exactly! 🤣

Check the HVAC plugs on the hot/cold control knob, you may have missed putting it back on or put it on backwards. (I’ve done that before.)

See our new video for radio removal. We have refined the process. No need for a pry tool on this project.

_RaftTipper _ Correct. It is a gray leaver like mechanism that you have to pull down all the way and that will release the plug.

I broke it

Also how do you remove the antenna

Flacko Barrientos youll see it in the back behind the radio, it should be an orange cord, I had to push it around a bracket to loosen it up but it’s pretty accessible once u get the radio out a bit

iPhone 12

@@MartinsUsedCarsCollectiblesLLC I have a shaker 500 on my gt/cs but I have a 08 v6 with a mp3 I like the mp3 sound better is it possible to swap them?

@@javiermoran4378 it is possible to swap them, but there is an extra clip on the Shaker for the woofer speakers on the bottom of the door. Those won’t work if you use the MP3/single disc radio from the 08 v6.

It can drain the battery depending on how long it tries to load a disc. You might want to consider replacing the unit. Or your battery was old and needed to be changed.

I unplug the antenna at the 4:21 mark. The orange chord with the metal tip.

No, it does not make it easier to access the upper actuator. See our video on how to change the upper actuator. You do have to remove the airbag.

@@MartinsUsedCarsCollectiblesLLC Thanks, I pulled the airbag the next day and replaced the actuator. Not a fun job. 😬

Safety first. Some e-breaks may not hold as well as others.

The antenna should be a direct fit to the replacement radio. Keep in mind the 2005 radios are not compatible in 2006-2009 models. 2005 stock base and Shaker radios have a different antenna connection than other years.

Why did you remove the radio??

@@deerhunter8533 - I replaced the radio because the CD player was not working.

Having the same issue

You can lift up the boot and slide it through the console on an angle.

i have an automatic and had to turn the car on and put it in drive to gain the room i needed to move the piece

You really don’t need any pry tools for this task. See our new video on how to remove the radio.

No mas los de 2007 y ariba

There is one on eBay, but it’s $250! Good luck.

The shaker radios are absolute junk. The paint started peeing off the buttons on the one in my 2005 Mustang when the car was practically new. Ford replaced it and paint started peeing off the buttons on the new one but by then it as out of warranty. Then a couple of the buttons broke. Then the battery started going dead if I didn't drive the car for a few days. Did a test with the multi-meter and found out the damn Shaker is drawing amps when the car is off and the key is out of the ignition. Finally just pulled the damn fuse and use the earbuds with my iPhone when I am driving the car.

@@trevorn9381 uhm, I've never heard Mustang shaker, but in f150 it was not junk by any means

I own a 2006 Mustang GT I have the same problem with the Shaker radio draining my battery.

Paul Rhoden for that issue you have to pull the radio fuse until you find a new radio, or clean the sensors in the radio (theres videos on how) but its a pain in the ass. i just bought a new radio

Looks pretty simple to me.

@@Beofware It is simple but I worked in a car stereo shop and did these all the time. In can be a PITA to get that console out with auto trans if you can't get that parking brake up all the way. Also those lower plugs are a pain to remove if you are not familiar. Even this guy in the vid didn't know how on the right side but it's really easy if you know how to unlatch it with a small angle pick tool.

Our customers want stock vehicles. But you can use this video to replace your audio system with a different radio.
