I am (finally) ready to put the money down on a new '06 Mustang GT, but am still undecided on which stereo option to choose. I heard the Shaker 1000 and it sounded great, but ... I keep hearing people complaining about the CD player skipping all the time. I have seen this in multiple posts.
So my question is, how often does it really skip?? Is it just when going over bumps or rough pavement, or does it just skip for no good reason??? Are we talking about once an hour, every five minutes, or just when you hit a pothole??? Does the Shaker 500 also skip or is it just the Shaker 1000???
Last question is, if I decide to go with one of the cheaper stereos to avoid the skipping issues, how easy would it be to put in a good aftermarket stereo later?? I ask this because the one I saw was a very large square in the dash, so if you took that out it would leave a big square hole!!! Most aftermarket stereos I have seen would not fill that hole so some kind of plate would be needed to block up the extra space.
Any comments from Shaker 1000 owners would be greatly appreciated, I really liked the sound but I would get real annoyed fast if it skips every two minutes. I do a lot of highway driving and not that many potholes around here if that is the issue.
Thanks.
Craig
