hook Tilt to '05 Mustang Shaker 1000

Hi, does anyone know how to hook a ATT Tilt to '05 Mustang Shaker 1000 stereo? I'd prefer to not do the FM transmitter if possible.

I have an '06 Mustang with a shaker 1000 system. I use a media gateway from best buy that hooks into the back of the radio. I has an Ipod usb interface and a 3.5mm headphone jack. All I have to do is press the sat/aux button(AUX is the button on my stereo, some say SAT) When I get Home I will post the part number and brand. What color is your mustang?

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Its Torch Red. Pics of it are here:

I think I found it. Is this what you have? http://www.icarkits.com/product_info.php?products_id=3411

That's it. It easy to install, you just have to take the center console out. It works well.

Nice car!

Check out my pics.

Did you get it done yet?

I used a P.I.E. adapter that fits into one of the sockets behind my Shaker 500. Then the car harness just plugs right into the P.I.E. harness... no splicing.

I hooked up the Tilt output on a miniusb-to-3.5mm adapter with built-in mic that I got (originally for T-Mobile G1). That way I can take calls using the stereo. Even on my convertible 'Stang it works very well. Just can't go 90mph with the roof down or your caller won't hear a thing you said ;-)

I mounted the phone to the stereo using a Panavise metal bracket... looks *very* clean and it's very sturdy. No holes drilled, connects to stereo bolts. The phone mounts to the black metal bracket using a generic PDA "vent" holder I found at Target. I ripped the vent clips off and used some small screws to fasten it to the Panavise mount... rock solid.

I have the extra cable wrapped behind the mount so that I can take the phone off the mount, stretch the cord out & place the phone on the passenger sun visor so my kids can watch movies from the back seat using the car stereo for sound. Works like a charm!

Every person who's seen it up close says the same two things: 1) How'd you do that? & 2) I'm gonna do that for my car!

This is a pic of my prototype... the final setup has less wire exposed and the adapter's mic facing the driver.

The only thing wrong with that is it's in a Mushtang ;). Good job.

Don't bother knockin' a 'Stang.

Any car in the same class as the Mustang will be defeated. Mustangs start out with a fun little V6 and end with GT500's & Cobra-Jet editions that can easily POP-A-WHEELIE going down the track. No little-boy honda or corolla-on-crack can match that. Even a regular GT500 will go toe-to-toe with an M3, for about $10k less.

And you Moped & Bow-Tie boys have your days numbered.... the next gen powertrains come out next year! Let the battles begin (in a humane, legal sort of way... of course ;-)

Bah I'll keep my 19 yr old Taurus. :D

[joihan777]

Hey, your Taurus is a very sturdy car! S.H.O. by any chance?

Our next family car will either be a Taurus or a Flex. The Sync system teams up with your Tilt via BT and works well or so I'm told.

If you want to mount your Tilt to your dash, try Pana-Vise for a VERY sturdy mount... it's the backbone of my setup.

Yes SHO FTW.
