Howzit. Since I am finding out the culprit of this "sound" that seem to come from my Mini Cooper's OEM Player, do anybody here with AUX Cable Connection hear a "winding" sound everytime you open your door? It seems that the sound is coming from the cd player - its weird because this is the first time I heard this.
BTW, I am also hearing this in my BMW (also with the AUX connection) as well.
I've had the AUX input installed for almost 2 years and have no idea what you're talking about. The only noise I get when opening and closing the door is the window dropping and raising a 1/4 inch.

Would I get better milage if I had less fun?
The R56 has a start button, so the steering wheel lock isn't tied to the key mechanism. When you turn off the car, or get into the car, the steering wheel lock mechanism runs, which is a whirring noise. It sounds a little like a disc changing in a CD changer, but a little louder, and seems to come from behind the dash near the center stack.
If the steering wheel leaning against the mechanism when it disengages, you'll near a little "clunk" too.
