Just curious if anybody changed out or upgraded their Shaker. It's a decent sound system and all, but I had better quality speakers and a box with a cooler display in my last car. I just don't like the way factory radio looks, I like lots of electronic lights and all those cool display features :) So who removed the shaker from their car or replaced parts of it?

you can put in a double din 6.7 or 7" dvd indash player if you want.
the door speakers are 8" subs or you can downsize to 6.5" mids, and then where the 5x7 area is you can fit a 4" with a 1" tweeter. and take out the back speakers and put subs in. which their are endless possibilities for subs and boxes on which way you want it to be.

How do these units work? I hear a lot of people talk about a "head". Is this just the player part and radio, without the amp? And how is it that you can buy an Alpine and get the wires to match up with the Mustang? Has the wiring been standardized? Same for the hole size the radio fits in. How do you get it to fit? Is this standardized?
Any good sites out there that detail all the latest car radio standards and technologies??

people callthem head units.. people around here often like to call them decks..
to get them to fit, you need a new deck plate or face plate how ever you want to call it
no wiring for audio did not get standardized.. but basic electrical skills will get your system pumping.. for best results get an installer to do it for you.. that way there is no fudge ups
heres mine

Hmmm... I must be one of the only people that enjoys their Shaker. I can deal with the skip(only happens once in a while), but I love the 6 CD changer.

Well... part of my reason to upgrade was some more interior bling! LOL! I always thought the Shaker sound just "ok"... I am really surprised how much better my car sounds now! LOL! I really don't use the CD that much... I'm an XM junkie! LOL!

Yeah I'm impressed too by the sound, I had two 10" woofers in the trunk but I took them out cause they weighed about 70lbs. Also it wasn't bolted down so it slid all over the place.
