Re: My CD nav is always making noises when trunk open, normal?
It should spin down after about a minute if you leave the trunk open and don't open or close the doors. It takes the GPS a few seconds to startup when the car is started - longer with the older non-DVD units. So each time you access the car, the electronics assume you will be driving it and wake up the GPS so you don't have to wait once you are buckled in and driving.
Important note here - if you are disconnecting the battery, it is critical that you allow the GPS unit to shut down before you remove the battery cable. Open the trunk and wait until the light on the GPS unit is out. Failure of the GPS unit is possible if you don't follow this procedure. Most people suggest a 5 minute wait to be safe.
