ToddL Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Does anyone know if you can plug an MP3 player into a Shaker 500. If so, are the jacks up front, or do you have to get to the back of the unit? I want to have my player loaded when i pick it up. I have about a 3 hour drive to get it (whenever that is). Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The literature says both shaker stereos have MP3 cabability. It also says "auxiliary audio input jack", but I don't know where the jacks would be. This info can be found in the "key features" guide elsewhere on this site. There is a "drawing" of the face of each radio, and I can't see any jacks....but since they are only drawings I'm not putting a lot of faith that they are totall accurate.

kb67 Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 From what I can see its on the back of the head unit. there are some folks that make a unit to directly connect to the head unit to supply a input for a ipod. Heres a link to one of the sites thats selling a unit. http://www.logjamelectronics.com/piefrd04aux.html Also appears theres FM transmitter setups as well. http://store.digitalageproducts.com/?productid=DAP-003A Also found a diagram for a the shaker head unit in this thread might lead you to other options. http://www.mustangforums.com/m_826853/tm.htm Ford has a aversion to making things simple I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VNMOUS1 Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Does anyone know if you can plug an MP3 player into a Shaker 500. If so, are the jacks up front, or do you have to get to the back of the unit? I want to have my player loaded when i pick it up. I have about a 3 hour drive to get it (whenever that is). Thanks I'm not sure, but I think the MP3 capability refers to MP3 formatted CDs (the ones you can burn of your favorite tunes from your computer; retail-purchased CDs are NOT MP3 format). Ask someone on the AAI forum to look at the head unit. IF there's an input jack on the front, you're good to go. If not, you options suck. The FM transmitter types are horrible. You're taking all that bandwidth used in thesong and squeezing it down to the FM bandwidth used for transmitting. I've heard tons of these and they all suck. IF it's absolutely imperative that you can plug an iPod in, take your car to a high end stereo shop and have them install the jumper on the rear harness. You DON'T want to try this at home. Figure on 300-400 bucks to have it done. bj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Oh B Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 There's a jack to plug in iPods on the passenger side of the center console near the stereo in all 2007 Mustangs. The Shaker systems play MP3's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
