Does anyone know if the Shaker 1000 head unit stereo is a simple plug and play into a 05 and up mustang that didn't come stock with the Shaker 1000? Reason I ask is because I sold my Shaker 1000 head unit that was professionally unistalled to someone that didn't have it stock in his newer mustang and he said it wont work and it gave some some kind of error message (I think he said cd error). Now my radio worked on the way up to the place that uninstalled so I was just curious to know if anyone had any answers. Thanks!!

 

Im guessing its totally different wiring harnesses and not just plug and play because how can you hook up a Shaker 1000 head unit that outputs to 8 speakers when his car has a stock radio and only has 4 speakers and is set up to output to 4 speakers. This is funny because this guy bought my Shaker 1000 from me on Ebay and said it didnt work which it does but he is unintelligent and hasn't figured it out. He said he took it to a ford out of warranty shop which is an aftermarket shop and it read cd error. So he filed a Paypal claim which didn't go in his favor so now he is trying to get a chargeback from his card issurer. So now I have to give this information that I had to give to Paypal all over again to his credit card company to defend myself AGAIN. Such a pain in the A** during the holidays!! LOL

 

I think that the Shaker 500 and Shaker 1000 use external amps (like the old Mach 460), while the standard stereo uses and internal amp. If this is the case, plugging a Shaker into a non-Shaker car would not power the speakers. Just a guess...
