Thanks, Whatcham. Yes indeed, very annoying, especially since I had made it so clear that I thought this could be an outcome and that I didn't want to take any significant chance of it occurring.

Works fine.

What kind of rattling sound is it and where exactly is it coming from? (Tapping vs snapping/creaking noise? Inside the CD/Radio units of the Center Stack?)

"Clicking"-type noise, usually just a single click at a time (i.e. lasting only a tiny fraction of a second), kind of like paper clicking against paper.
Sometimes it's a few "clicks" in rapid succession, lasting maybe half a second to a second; then it's kind of like a "rattle."
Rarely it keeps going for longer than that.
Rough pavement and bumps make it happen, even the slightest bumps; also acceleration, deceleration, and stopping, unless it's extremely gradual. But not always; it's not like these things invariably cause the noise. Anyway I don't think I've gone more than about 10 or 15 seconds at a time without it happening.
Not terribly loud. It seems like many other people have had a much worse rattle problem.
As to where it's coming from: It's extremely localized, apparently from the bottom portion of the CD/radio or right beneath it. And it sounds like it's right near the outside, as opposed to deep within the unit.
Pressing on certain portions of the unit seems to stop the noise sometimes, but I'm not sure.
