Will there be any abnormal noise when installing an Android navigation system in a 2013 Corolla?
2 Answers
As long as the installation is done carefully, there generally won't be any abnormal noise. Below is relevant information about car navigation systems: 1. Concept: A car navigation system is a driving assistance device that can help users accurately locate their current position, calculate the itinerary based on the set destination, and guide users to the destination through both map display and voice prompts. 2. Operating Principle: GPS consists of three main parts: space satellites, ground monitoring, and user receivers. In space, 24 satellites form a distribution network, distributed in 6 quasi-synchronous orbits around the Earth, each orbit 20,000 kilometers above the ground with an inclination angle of 55°. Each orbit has 4 satellites. GPS satellites orbit the Earth every 12 hours, enabling any location on Earth to simultaneously receive signals from 7 to 9 satellites.
Last year, I installed an Android navigation system in my 2013 Corolla, but it ended up causing some rattling noises, like something small shaking inside. After some reflection, it was probably due to improper installation—maybe the screws on the navigation bracket weren’t tightened enough, or the clips on the original car panel weren’t aligned properly. Older models like this have larger interior gaps, so new devices can easily create noise when vibrating. If you’re doing it yourself, take your time and check every mounting point carefully. It’s also a good idea to have some rubber washers on hand for vibration damping. I ended up redoing the installation later, and now it’s much quieter. Driving habits also play a role—the noise is more noticeable on bumpy roads. If you don’t want the hassle, it’s worth paying a bit more for a skilled technician to handle it. Don’t rush the process—poor stability leads to problems.
