Default Startup - cd spin noise - isf 2013

When I start the car, there is a cd spinning or hard drive whirring sound coming from either the navigation or radio/cd player. (No cd inside the cd player). When I turn the car off it slowly dies down.

Anyone else had this issue and what could be the cause of it ?

My 2013 has done this a few times during extreme cold. It sits all winter, so i just chaulked it up to the cold.

Is there a fix for it or do we just live with it ? I was reading RX forums and they seem to be also having the same issue especially in extreme cold weather and it is caused by cooling fan in the navigation/cd player.

It's possible that the fan is dirty (lint, dust, etc). Maybe pulling out the unit and cleaning it with compressed air or dust off.

Mine stopped when it warmed up. I don’t drive mine in winter, so it’s not really a bother. Sorry I couldn’t help more.
