AVIC-D3 replacing Shaker 500 headunit in 07 Mustang?

[vpr611]

I apologize if this has already been answered however I couldn’t find this question. I currently have a 2007 Mustang with a factory Shaker 500 system and want to replace the unit with a Avic-D3 with XM NavTraffic. Both Best Buy and Ultimate Electronics tell me that the wiring and speakers in the system will need to be replaced because they are specific to the Shaker system. Does anyone know if this is true?

Did not have to in my grandfathers.

 

Used these.

I'm pretty sure they do not. I have the audiophile in my f-150 and it did not. Just go to crutchfield and enter your vehicle. They will tell you what adapters you need, what you will lose and everything.

Use that one! The only thing you're going to need to do is get yourself a ducatiboy amp turn-on thing (or a smal resistor so you don't thump the crap outta your subs on turn-on)

it can easily be done. i have an 07 mustang with the shaker 500 and just installed a d3, sirius, bluetooth and ipod. the 4 6x8 speakers in the car are run off the head unit and the two door subs are run on a factory amp. just get the voltage reducer to avoid the turn on pop for the factory amps (i made my own), and wire them up as normal. just be sure to get the right harness with the audiophile plug and youll be good to go. easy install.
