Hey Guys,

Any one else notice your radio lens heating up? I didn't notice it until my wife placed her hand on it. Hot enough to warm up your hands...is this normal?

Thanks in advance!

All electronics generate heat. That big screen enclosed in a small box - yes I would say it is normal!

My aftermarket Pioneer creates heat on the Organic LED Screen also.

The consensus appears to be this "heating up" is normal for electronic equipment & it is not uncommon for these radios & others like it.

Thanks guys!
