Gave this a try and no change. Definitely the right front side reverberates through the dash only on rough surfaces (rpm not a factor). It may be time to make this the dealer's problem.

Yes but I don’t have a local dealer and don’t have time to be dropping the car off an hour away and not having the car for days over a rattle. Pretty ticked off. All cars rattle way too much now other than F150s and most Hondas. The rest drive me nuts. And this is T even going into the stereo rattles from bass apparently coming from all of the speakers. Sounds like a 1980 Kraco special from Big Lots, if you’re old enough to know how bad that is.

Thankfully the road noise is so awful it drowns most the rattles out. Now that it’s warming up I roll the windows down and generally don’t hear it all, but when it rains and I’m driving very far the dash rattle drives me crazy.

Turns out my windshield isn't fully sealed causing the ticking sound which is reverberating through the dash.

How did you figure that out? I just started getting a pretty hollow plastic tick from the center of the dash near the windshield.

Turn stalk is defective after 380 miles. It will no longer do 3-blink with a soft press for lane change.

I have mine turned off, but is that one of the settings that gets reset when the head unit resets?

Assuming you use it, did the gear indicator stop working?

Do you have an leaks when washing the car or driving in the rain?

I started gently tapping around the edge of the windshield outside the car and near the lower right corner I heard clicking. I used a piece of foam insulation cut down and wedged it between the frame and the glass and went for a drive and the dash vibration was gone. So now I will get it into the dealer and ask them to remedy the problem.

No leaking from rain or car wash.

I don't think this warrants its own thread so posting here - anybody figure out a solution for routing a USB cable from the center console to somewhere useful? I'm about to rip it out and start drilling holes, hate having the cable sticking out of the clamshell doors and phone gets too hot sitting in the console with the cover closed.

Get wireless dongle for either Carplay or AA, there are products for both.

This is the best solution I've found. I also have a fast charger in my glovebox for when I need to charge the phone. End result is no visible cables unless I need to charge.

I have yet to find a CarPlay adapter that works well. I’ve tried 3 and none of them connect reliably for more than a week.

Yeah, every AA wireless adapter I've found has pretty bad review feedback, it's kept me from going that route. I'm likely going to drill a hole inside the console and route a USB cable to somewhere more useful/out of the way.

The Motorola MA1 has been pretty good for me. The only issue is being able to get one at MSRP.
