It sounds like I have a little metall ball roling around in DVD player.

The sound is not related to movement of the car. It almost sounds the gyroscope of the NAV is making all this noise when it is trying to find a position.

No gyroscope - GPS. Mine does it too. Just sit in your car with everything turned off sometime all kinds of weird sounds. It's alive

Mine is doing it and the iDrive is not even working. It's talking to itself while trying to boot up.

Why does the GPS keep making whirring sounds even when the car is off?

I meant the car uses GPS not a gyroscope. The whirring sound must be the DVD or something as GPS is electrical - no moving parts.
