Anyone else's V1 get burning hot to the touch?

I just got my V1 a few days ago, and i've noticed that after a few minutes on the window, the case gets very very hot. I've never gotten a E or anything, just curious because my X50 never got that hot. :)

Not sure how warm its been for the past few days there in California, but the V1 is black, and the X50 is silver... so sun will tend to heat it up a bit more. I have also noticed my V1 does get rather warm to the touch... not hot... but it seems to be a trait of the V1's, as long as it picks up radar fine and is messing up, I wouldnt worry all that much.

Mine gets pretty hot but it is black so its understandable,it doesnt seem to effect it at all

Don't worry about it, it's magnesium.

Temperature Range: Operating: -20°C to +70°C (-4°F to +158°F)
Storage: -30°C to +85°C (-22°F to +185°F)

I did not want to touch my V1 when I was in Las Vegas yesterday. It would burn my hand. But I never got "E", and radar range has been great.

right there is it, but when my X50 gets a bit hot on a drive I just divert some airflow from the A/C to the windshield vents to cool it off some
