I took a look and you're right about what it says, however it is followed by the evil (if available). I think that if you have Sirius radio from the factory, that the radio is set to display the Text info only in the Aux mode...

Thanks for the reply. I take the "if available" to mean if the information is available on the CD. Older CDs do not have the information available but the one I took to the dealer does. I know the information is available on the CD because it displays on my Pontiac G6 and it displayed on the radio in the other GT at the dealer. I didn't buy the car at the dealer I went to today and she suggested I take it back to the dealer I bought it from and have them show me how to work the radio. That makes me mad because I read the owner's manual and the radio does not work the way the manual says it should,

Can you post a picture of your Tungsten Grey Mustang? Good color choice.

Does your's have Sirius Radio? I think that is the answer, but hey if you get someone to show you how to make the thing work, let me know. It would be a cool addition. I use the Text button all the time when listening to Sirius...

Yep, love the Tungsten Gray...have the black Lemans Strips on it.....a black scoop, like a Shaker would look sweet

Nice looking car. In some ways I wish I had kept my V6 because I had an SLT cold air intake and the X-CaL II tuner and dual exhaust with X-pipe and GT mufflers. I also had GT take off leather seats that my wife and I installed. When I traded for the GT it had everything I wanted except the leather seats so my wife told the salesman she wanted him to trade the cloth seats for the leather in our V6 coupe. But it really feels great when I hit 2nd gear and jump on the throttle. Man it flies! Oh, no I don't have the Sirius Radio. I do have an XM radio that I can plug into the Aux input. Bob Dylan has a radio show on XM radio. That's why we have XM radio.

What would you take for the 2008 Shaker 500 system? Did you use it before you removed it? Does it have a button between the seek buttons that says "TEXT/SCAN"?

Angry HELP anyone with 07/08 Shaker 500 that works?

Does anyone out there have a 2007 or 2008 Shaker 500 that works the way it is described in the Mustang Owner's Manual? In the 2007 Mustang Owner's Manual on page 22 it says that the "TEXT/SCAN" button in the CD mode will display the CD title, Track name and the Artist name. Mine does not do that but it did all of that in my 2006 Shaker 500. The only way I can tell a 2006 audio system from a 2007 audio system is the 2006 Shaker 500 in my V6 coupe had a button that said "SCAN" between the "SEEK" buttons while ths Shaker in my 2007 GT has a button that says "TEXT/SCAN" between the "SCAN" button.
