Default How much vibration NAV HU?

So a few months ago I had a GPS NAV Head unit installed. Could not be happier overall.

Question is looking at the unit recently it looks like it has a lot of vibration compared to the dash and car. Everything works perfectly, it just vibrates a lot on bumps and such.
Appears that the unit must have rubber vibration dampeners as that is the "motion" I see it making. So how much vibration is bad? Can I tighten anything to make it less? Do all aftermarket installs do this?

Thanks!
Justin

Is it a motorized/fold away screen? If not it shouldn't be moving around. I'd check to make sure whoever installed it did it correctly and used the right dash kit. Any dampeners for the cd player should be internal....

it is motorized in the fact the screen will flip down to insert or eject a CD/SD card. It does not flip out like a single DIN would.

Ahh, could be why. You could probably shim it up a little tighter with something. Gotta get creative sometimes. It's hard to say what you can do without seeing it 1st hand... I'd bring it back to the ppl that installed it and just ask 'em if it can be tightened up a bit.
