I have a 2005 Mustang with the Shaker 500 system. About a month ago, I had to replace the battery in my car. Ever since then, the radio does not display information about songs. It used to show the name of the song, the artist, and the station. Any idea why it doesn't show that now? I can't figure out how to get that back. Thanks!

 

Turn on your RDS. Just push menu button until you find it and turn on.

 

if you are FM/AM mode press menu twice and turn on RDBS then you should have all of your station information.

 

Thanks for responding. When I went through the menu, it no longer had an option for RDS. I'll try hitting the menu twice and see if that helps. It seems like there is a new option on the menu since the battery change, but I can't think of it right now.

 

You have to hold the menu button for 2 or 3 seconds to get to the RDS option. For whatever reason its hidden in the menu. Look at your owners manual, it shows how to turn RDS on.

 

Thanks SMGFAN! I didnt know the Shaker 500 had that capability, went out to the stang and it worked just like you said it would, thanks again.

On my 2006, I simply press the menu button and hold it in for about 3-4 seconds and 'then' the RDS option is displayed. Give this a try.

Thank you!!!!! I know remember having to do that when I first got the car, but that was over 3 years ago, so I forgot! Yeah!!!! Now this can stop driving me nuts!!!!!

 

Hey, I haven't driven my stang in a lil while (I'm at school, car at home). What is the RDS option for the radio?

 

RDS displays the song title,artist and radio station.
