Default Radar Detectors (Heat Build up)

I have a V1 and noticed that it gets pretty hot after use ~ 20 min. Anyone know if this is normal?

Thanks

Don't think so. My very old V1 (got it >5 years ago) does get a little warm but I'd never say that it gets hot. Where do you have it mounted? If it's on the visor and not getting direct sunlight, then it's possible there's something wrong.

I have a new one that I suction to the windshield and it gets pretty damn hot after awhile.

If it's on the windshield and in the sun, well, it's black and plastic--it's gonna get hot. But mine has survived the Texas heat for about 6 years with no problems, so I wouldn't worry.
