Odd clicking noise in dash
New to the C6, I have an 08. Is it normal that a clicking noise comes from the dash somewhere everytime you change a setting in the DIC, or press the acc button, and several other functions? It almost sounds like contacts making and braking. Sounds like it's behind the radio. I haven't tried any others, but I figured you guys would know.

I really wish I could but the car in acc mode with the key fob though.

That's the same noise I'm talking about. It happens with several different functions, including programming options in the DIC. It's just a series of clicks that sounds like relays It's not static in the speakers and it's not in the A/C vent actuator. It's an electrical click the same as the click you hear when you press the brake without the car running. It also does it when I open the door with acc off, if I recall correctily.

Ahhh the rewards of working in turbine helicopters for over a decade. WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY? Clicking, I don't hear no clicking.
Seriously my 2009 does not make any clicking noises from the dash area. It does however make a God awful metal on metal grinding noise from the tunnel when cold for the first few miles till it warms up..
I'll trade you noises?

does it happen just when starting (normal) or continue while braking possibly?
As mentioned earlier relay chatter is normal when starting but if it continues during driving (as mine did)it ended up being stuck/hung-up
trunk release button above license plate. Chattering caused by switch
making contact and security system (relay would chatter behind radio)
pull out switch/clean and try again..in my case problem solved
worth a shot takes 10 minutes
good luck
