The installer for my system had fabricated a custom bracket and it sits back father in the location than normal. I have not noticed any rattle coming from my head unit. Maybe because of the custom brackets. Normal mount kits use plastic pieces and that may be carrying over the vibration to the plate for ean611. Good to know about the potential for rattle from there though. Thanks ean611.

No Prob on the rattle. There is no mounting bracket that would effect what I saw on the 8500. This was simply the movable face plate rattling against the unit. If you bolted the thing down to two long steel poles on the left and right, and then shook it, it'd rattle. It wasn't FR-S/BRZ specific.
It could also have been a marginal unit. Either way, I hate rattles.
