I have the same problem and it always happened when unlocking or opening trunk.
I say happened, because recently the same noise appeared when I started the engine and Active Steering became disabled. The next day Active Steering was back and who knows when it will happen next time

A few days ago I had the car in for a software update, clicking noise still there

I'm curious, anyone has had this problem fixed?

Fcmaras,

Welcome to the forum!

About the noise, I just got the car back from the dealer. They stated that they could find anything wrong and gave the car a software update and reset the active steering. Not sure if it's fixed. I'll see in the next week or so if it continues to make the noise. :bashwall: I'll keep you guys posted on the outcome.
