I have seen interior pictures showing the navigation screen as a retractable device (slides up and down within the center console). When extending in a quiet cabin, do the motors sound quiet or are they loud and "cheap" sounding?

Second, when extended, is the eye drawn to them while driving? Having the nav system up high prevents the driver from having to look down and away from the window, but being extended well above the dash seems extreme and distracting, given the brightness of the screen and colors.

Drive it at night and compare the questions - is the Nav system too bright at night (day / night illumination)?
