RE: Hidden Shaker 500/1000 feature for radio stations
you are welcome :-) i am glad i posted this...my inbox is thanking me!! plus now everyone has a "free" feature.
as for the people who are not seeing song names, etc., once you turn RDS on, you can select what you want it to show you. artist, song title, etc. press menu a few times after you turn RDS on (hold menu down for 5-6 seconds, then turn RDS on, then press menu again and again) and you can set the other options, like what you want it to show you, etc.
sometimes i think Ford purposely hides these options only so we can find them...
and i know the gas pedal "throttle trick" to eliminate throttle lag without an aftermarkettune is for a fact NOT in the manual. i wonder why they would leave that one out, especially when our cars come with so much lag from the factory?

if its in the manual its not a "hidden" feature and the "throttle trick" recalibrates the TB and does not permanently get rid of the lag, it reduces it for a week maybe 2 depending on how much you drive the car.

When I had the Sirius hookup, I was able to see song and artist. Now that Ilet the subscription run out,I can only see the station name. I'll have to try pressing that menu button again and see if I can get more info to come up.
