If my navigation unit or radio have a fan, it is so quiet that I didn't even know it was there.

Yeah! I think there is a fan on the bottom of the radio unit? at first i heard the spins noise I thought it was the noise came from the NAV disk slot drive? and I eject the NAV disk, but it still heard spins noise, then I eject ALL disks in CD drive and still heard the spins noise and I tried to listen close to the unit and found the spins noise came out from the bottom of the unit where is above the slot where is cigararet outlet is? as soon as i turn the car off the fan spins slowly and it stopped

Huh. Maybe it's loose, or it's hitting some wires back there?
