Sounds to me like it's in a bind and plastic is rubbing on plastic. I'd take it back to the dealer and have them fix it but that's just me.

That's why the dang iPod adapter should be a factory item only. I just hate the idea of taking stuff apart that has just been put together. It keeps me from doing the iPod adapter at all. Bummer. Make 'em fix it. They obviously put it back together differently than it is supposed to fit.

You could also take it back apart and put talcum powder everywhere that plastic meets plastic or steel meets plastic. You could also use Armor-all or something similar too.

Or it could just be not snapped in all of the way. I would try pushing the dash in to make sure all is tight. There's not a lot to go wrong when putting the Ipod adaptor in. It's just all plastic and clips.
