Some customers may comment that there is unusual or unwanted noise coming from the navigation radio. This noise has been described as a fan sound or hearing a disc spinning.
Source of fan sound -- It is normal for the radio fan to run when the vehicle is turned on and for up to three minutes after the vehicle has been turned off and the driver's door has been opened or closed.
Disc spinning sound -- This is a normal operational sound. This is caused by the map disc spinning behind the tilt screen. It is a normal operation after the RKE is used to unlock the vehicle or when the driver's door has been opened. This noise will also be heard during vehicle operation and up to three minutes after the vehicle has been turned off and driver's door has been opened and closed.
Do not replace the radio as the described conditions are normal operating characteristics.
