Mine was built in Feb of 05, I have had no problems with the shaker 500 system. As Bob D. said, when I listen to music in my car, I listen to it for a long time...otherwise, I just listen to the exhaust rumble.

Lasted one week with the "skipper 500". It skipped on all disks. The funny thing is that I live .8 miles down a gravel road. It rarely skipped while driving over the gravel, but skipped on the highway. It didn't seem to matter whether it was a burned disk or original. Some burned disks wouldn't play at all. I called b.s. and had it taken out after 1 week. I'm really really happy with the aftermarket setup. Went with a single DIN which gave me a storage compartment under the deck. I also have Sirius with the aftermarket so not having the 6 disk play isn't key to me. I know that whatever I slam into the Kwood is going to work and not skip.

Mine was built in 10/2005, Shaker 1000. It's never skipped. The only issue that I've ever had is pretty easy to avoid. If I write an MP3 CD, burn it, and later try to add a few songs, it will play for a little while, then say "Bad Disk" and eject the CD.

I've learned to burn a CD once and only once. If I need to make adjustments, then I need to burn a new CD. Simple.

I'm actually very happy with the Shaker 1000. It sounds great. No complaints whatsoever.

I'm so happy with it that at first I was surprised to read complaints about the Shaker system on the board.

Did you get Ford to pay for the aftermarket deck, if not did you at least try?

What kind of CDs do you use to when you burn? I had the same problem, then I bought a different brand of CD which claimed to be better and I have never had the problem since. So you might want to try that too. Just a suggestion.
Not sure what disc's i was using, I'll check. What dics have been working for you?
