I got my Mustangs shaker 500 replaced with the revised version a little less than a month ago... but even the revised "B" version still skips a little. Is this TSB anything different than the one that tells you to swap out for a different "B" version?
by programming update do you mean something that the dealer does besides replacing the system to fix the skips? I have the "revised" version, but it still seems to skip some CD's. Is there anything to help me..?
It looks like an update to the process the dealer goes through when trying to fix or update the player. It doesn't seem to be identifying any new problems.
yea some cars wouldnt accept programing from the WDS when the radio was replaced and the light would not dime on the radio when the lights were turned on. this fixes that
