Default Squeeky noises from around Nav

I've noticed that at times, I get lots of annoying noises from the vicinity of the Nav screen while going over bumps. I think it is the Nav rubbing against the surrounding dash. May also be temperature related, as it seems to be much reduced (perhaps even goes away) after I've been driving a while and the cabin gets nice and toasty. Anybody else notice this? Any fixes?

I thought the same thing, then discovered it was my sunglasses in the holder. Also check the passenger side seatbelt, that might be hitting the side.

I'm have the same problem, too....The sound comes from the middle dash area near the windshield. It all started when it became cold here in TX. This problem still persists. "Swixo" how did your dealer fix it? Did it take them long?

Default I had this too but...

...I fixed it when i removed my NAV console to change the wiring so that I could dial while driving etc...it turned out the squeek was coming from where the NAV console butts up against the A/C ducts....when i re-assembled everything the squeek was gone....Im so glad cause it was ANNOYING and loud...
