vibration rattle from navi screen
Especially when it is colder (say, less than 60F), the navi screen rattles / vibrates when closed. I can put my finger on the screen and exert very light pressure and the rattle stops.
Now that it is getting colder, it's getting worse -- and increasingly annoying. A quick search showed that others have experienced this as well. Wonder if anybody ever found a good solution other than bringing it to the dealer? |

i brought mine to the dealer wanting the roof and centre console rattle fixed, They returned the car almost exactly as before. telling me that the technicians "weren't able to replicate the rattle" , so they just applied some lubrication to the roof mechanism.
I don't think I like dealing with these lairs any more than i have to. i also have the rattle from nav screen when closed, so now i just keep them open majority of the time even when i didn't need directions. sorry to say that I haven't found a solution yet.

I have the exact same problem. I programmed button number 8 to close the screen and it always starts to rattle when I do so. And yes, putting a finger on the screen is the only known solution so far...

Sounds like a bushing was made that doesnt exactly fit the unit. Under if there is a replacement for them.

Had something similar, was in the dealers several times. They resolved it in the end, though the whole dash now creaks on very roads/manholes. Rather that though than the constant buzz I had from the dash.
Just one more rattle from the roll hoop to sort out and I'm nearly noise free! Never had to work so hard on such an expensive car! |

hello guys!
i have the same problem, i wonder if somebody has resolved the problem... I have noticed that when i put my finger on the edge of the screen, the rattle disappears, but it stops as well when i push on the grill behind the screen... so maybe the problem is "under" this area? i've read on another thread that the issue came from a little cable under the grill... have you any solution? it's annoying! |

No, sorry. With the roof open I don't hear it ...
My Z4 doesn't want an oil change yet, so I haven't been back to the dealer yet to ask them. |

Yes, I only hear this buzz when the weather is rainy and so when the roof is above my head...
And it's the case these latest days! thx... Last edited by Beryl; 05-16-2013 at 05:18 PM.. |

I sprayed some 3 in 1 DRY lubricant (Professional range) with PTFE into the crevices surrounding the mechanism and worked it in with a thin bit of plastic. That seems to have stopped my buzzing sound from that area.
It evaporates quickly to form a layer of dry Teflon. |

Mine does the same. Sound like some kinda actuating arm is vibrating. The only cure i found was to gently push the unit down slightly when open, but frightened might do some damage. Anyone known how to access the unit, can it be got at by removing the front speaker panel?
