Help identifying rattle

[IMG]
[/IMG]

Anyone have an idea what this rattle might be? Seems in/around dash close to nav screen, but could be deeper.

More noticeable at low speed (video is approx 15-20MPH or less), but that of course could be road noise masking it. Possible it's after a few miles and not early in trip, but haven't confirmed.

Thanks...

Rattles are difficult to pinpoint.
Remove everything from your interior that could possibly move around.
I had one once that I swore was inside the dash but it turned out to be my toll transponder - embarrassing. Also experiment with your sunroof open or closed.
Could be a loose coin, a pen, a small tool you dropped, etc.
Good luck.

Doesn't sound anything like something rolling around the car, sounds like metal banging on something. I'd guess suspension related but just go get it on a lift.

Only suspension part near the NAV screen is the bolt for the strut brace in the middle. Has it been removed recently? It is a single use bolt that is torque to yield. 100 Nm + 100 degrees. Pretty significant torque on it. Noise from the upper strut mounts will also travel along the strut braces to that point as well.
