I have read a couple of reports that the AVIC-N1 has an annoying fan noise.  Does anyone know if this is correct?  I have a nice quiet Lexus and would be upset if I had to listen to a fan instead of quite passages in the music.:)

Thanks,

Jerry

Can anyone suggest someplace in Northern California where I can hear one of these units?  The local Best Buy sells the unit but has none on display.  Also, the place is so noisy.

Thanks,

jerry

I work at the store in san francisco, we have one on display. I cant say ive noticed the fans being noisy though, just got done today with a mercedes with one in it and didnt notice it either.

yes, there is considerable fan noise.  At first i thought it was road noise and spent quite a bit of time checking various things.  I then ran the unit with it out of the dash and after a few minutes of playing a dvd the fan turned on.  I have it in my '04 vette and it is noticeable if the radio is turned down to a very low volume....i just learned to live with it.

My AVIC-N1 has fan noise too.  Being up so high in the dash didn't help either.  Especially since it's a high pitched noise.
