Default NAV system buttons rattle

Does anyone that has the NAV system have an issue with the buttons rattling at just about any speed over rough road? I couldn't figure out where this rattle was coming from until i put my hand over the face of the NAV and then it stopped and found out the buttons are what i heard rattling inside. Anyone experience this?

Default I do

But only when it's below 20 degrees out. Turn off your AC?

Nothing like that happened with either C6, not even when it was less than 20 degrees.

No, but the parking brake button rattles on rough pavement.

It definitely doesn't have anything to do with the temperature as i live in Florida I press down on the face of the NAV system and it stops, i just think the buttons are too loose in their sockets and the whole front plate vibrates over rough pavement and makes the buttons rattle, no way to stop it so i will live with it, was just wondering if anyone else had that happen. My parking brake button doesn't rattle so i guess i traded that rattle for a new one

My first one did that but the second doesn't. The two buttons feel so different that it almost seems like a washer was left out of the first one. You might want to have your dealer look at it if it really bothers you. I was prepared to slip an o-ring around the button on the second C6 if it rattled but it's tight as a drum.

Thanks for the advice! I now have 2 things I will have the dealer look at when I bring her in for an oil change; the parking brake button & the FM antenna module.
