a V-1 gets very warm
if it's not baking in the sun, I wouldn't worry about it
Thank you. I was just worried when I took it off my windshield to pocket it for the walk in the building. The thing was really warm in my pocket. lolQuote:

Yeah like Old Goat said it does get pretty warm. I mount my V1 with the visor mount, no way will I let my V1 bake in the hot sun!
As long as it is within specs, you will be fine.

It was designed to mount on the windshield. Mine never comes down and its plenty hot in OK.
Oh wow. 158F Operating. Thanks everyone. This has answered everything. I just wasn't sure if it was suppose to get that hot, guess its all good then!Quote:

Mounting it on the visor really helps with the heat issue.
