Replacing shaker 500 with factory navigation unit

regarding having to reset the functions you want every time you turn the car off.....
could you possibly rewire the power wires so that the radio is on constant power? ie, the radio will work without the keys in the ignition. this is how i installed my aftermarket radio in my DD. or maybe run a battery backup inline with the power wire?

I also just replaced my s500 with a factory nav. 1st problem and the most annoying to me is the hard buttons will not light up when the parking lights are turned on. Just to be checking does everyone else's hard buttons light up? And 2nd I get the dtc "B2477 ecu configuration failure" I think maybe that has something to do with getting it reprogrammed. And lastly my aux button is not showing either, maybe the reprogramming also? Does anyone have any input on these?
I have also noticed this. But when you do the DTC and do the speaker test the subs work just fine. However when you are listening to a cd or the radio the subs do not work at all. Have you figured anything out Tob? I wonder if this has to be reprogrammed also?
I have the same problem with the aux button and the lights around the nav screen and my radio does not stay on when I turn the car off
More info on how to access secret menu good read. This is what I had to do to get it to work on my 2008 nav.

I did some searching and found this thread on another forum: Replace Shaker 500 with OEM Navigation - Ford Mustang Forums Guy on there recommded this company as they have worked on his: Chicago Parts & Sound, Inc So called them today and talked about the problems I am having with my Nav unit. They said that reprogramming the unit will fix all the problems. So I sent it off to them today. Should be getting it back sometime next week. They guy I talked to said it will cost $110 plus shipping. I'll post back and let you guys know if the reprogramming works.
Sounds good. Let us know.
Did you get the nav back yet I'm wondering how you made out.
Not yet. They said the computer they do the programming on broke down and they're waiting on the parts to fix it. Said it should be another 2-3 days. :cryying:
Ok thanks
Finally got my navi back today! Hooked it up and everything works fine. The hard buttons light up when I turn the parking lights on, the line in tab appears and works and the subwoofers work. And also it is not showing any error codes.
Thanks I will send mine out next week and how much did it cost
I just picked up a factory nav setup for my 08. Plugged it in and it works great. It was from another 08 so no need to go to the dealer for programming. I have a question about the phone function. In my wifes 08 Edge the nav bluetooth's phone calls plus Pandora and iPod music. Doesn't work on the mustang one. My phone picks up tge bluetooth signal from it. Can this get turned on? I thought that up above the mirror was a set of speakers built in for phone calls?
