Question Navigation Speaker not shielded? (Durka Durka)

I have a new 2011 Honda Pilot, and it seems that the Navigation speaker is not shielded. When my Iphone or my wifes Neon is near the navigator screen the speakers give that GSM Buzz or Durka Durka noise. Is this normal? Do others get that? I can't belive they wouldn't have put in a shielded speaker so that this wouldn't happen!?

I doubt it is the "speaker" that needs the shielding.
It is very difficult to keep RF interference completely out of a system.

As N_Jay said, it's not that there isn't adequate shielding. GSM devices are just very noisy and bleed over into everything they are near. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that "Durka Durka" on a conference call at work, I'd be a millionaire - and I can tell you from experience that those phones are very well shielded.
