How about if you adjust the bass level? Perhaps its an issue of too much power to the speaker driver? Shouldn't occure in a factory car, but it's not impossible.

Tried every audio setting available (bass, treble, face, balance, etc) - nothing makes the noise go away.

Default Shaker 500 audio noise

A non nav Shaker 500 identification code:

Radio on and put the radio on an AM or FM channel.

Press 3 and 6 simultaneously.

Before it stops testing the speakers press 6.

Then press the UP button and you see the reference code.

I have: AR3T - 19C 158 - AL

That is apparently a Job1 ACM code. A Job2 ACM will probably have a different code, possibly the "AL" will change.

Whoever gets a Job2 ACM may be able to identify a "before and after" code change.

Is the stereo that is in the Nav models in fact a Shaker 500?

Great post Tomz! Confirmation from Ford or a JOB2 owner would be fantastic. Have JOB2 mustangs even hit the dealerships yet?

FYI, mine is also AR3T-19C 158-AL. If this number is on the outside of the ACM we will easily know what we are dealing with.

Good, I like that system and the web site wasn't really clear about that.

Guys,

FYI... my Shaker-1000 is making the same noise at no/very low volume.

Thank you very much for this information - you may be the first Shaker 1000 owner to chime in.

Sure thing. I could probably live with this, but if Ford does come up with an easy fix, I'd be all over it.
