05 SHAKER 500 NOT WORKING !!!

[Stang2k5]

We had the first really cold night of the season and now my Shaker 500 CD changer/player wont read or play any discs

Anyone have a problem like this ??? Is there an easy way to correct it or must I take it back to the service dept ???

Any advice is much appreciated

I think it's really just a quincidence that your CD play quit reading on a cold night. But, i'm not a stereo expert either. I would bring it in, thats what warrenties are for... right?

Right. I already contacted the dealer and the service dept is closed for the holiday weekend so I will call them monday.

My Dad just bought a v6 with the shaker 500 and it stopped working this weekend too.

I've got a 1000 and it is doing the same garbage. Bad CD. Disk errors, skipping whenever it feels like it. I expect it to stop working altogether soon. I am waiting though, because I figure the parts Ford has in stock are the same garbage stereos with this issue. It will take a few months before the supply chain/Ford/OEM radio manufacturer get their arses in gear and fis this. Man...1300 bucks for a stereo dead from the showroom. Gotta love that. If the Mustang weren't so fun to drive I would complain!

Thanks for all the info guys... It helps to know Im not the only one with this problem and now I can make an informed decision on how to correct this dilemna.

Im probably going to wait a few months being that this seems to be manufacturers problem and I want to give them time to correct it rather than replace and maybe have to replace it a third time. The less time they are in my car the better

The radio works fine but its going to suck being without CDs.

peace

Happened to me the other day also. It was the MP3 disk in slot #6, which had been working the night before. In the cold morning, it reported that it was a bad disk. I ejected it & reinserted & it worked fine. Is it possible that it fogged up as the car warmed up?

You guys are under warranty, take it in, get the damn units replaced.
