I haven't seen any chatter about this anywhere: but is anyone else's iPhone running (very) hot from being plugged into the AppRadio?
My first one did it, my second one does it, and I have a feeling that the radio is charging the iPhone too aggressively...
Mine heated up once. Hasnt happened since then and i drive about 45 min each into town. I also started to shut down screen since the app likes to leave them showing. Just hit the top button
yeah, the screen being on isn't the issue.... there is zero chance that the screen showing is causing the phone to get *that* hot
Mine doesnt. When i got my iPhone originally i had one with horrible battery life and would heat up really bad. Swapped it out and it runs fine now.
Mine gets warm, but not hot to the touch- but I've got it in a Griffin case, so that's probably isolating me from the real temperature. I think anytime you're navigating (the internal GPS antenna is on) and you're streaming music (data connection) while charging the battery the iPhone will get warm. I know my phone gets warm when I'm doing 2-3 things at once while it's charging at my desk- and it doesn't seem to get any hotter when I connect it to the AppRadio.
It seems pretty common online for all iPhone users: http://www.google.com/search?btnG=1&pws=0&q=iPhone+gets+hot+while+charging

Simply listening to music off the iPod app, the iPhone still gets hot to the touch... no data, no GPS, no apps, screen off

i do not have this issue charging with the charger it came with, plugged into my computer, or on one of the radio/docks I have at the house, it *only* happens when plugged into the AppRadio
Mine gets hot to the touch no matter what I'm doing. I am on my second AppRadio now.
I played around with the appradio demo at our local Best Buy. I also noticed my iPhone was hotter than it's ever been.
I have a D1 and I always leave it plugged in charging and outputting mirrored video (through jailbroken display out), and it has never gotten that hot before.
The temperature is very worrisome.
thanks for posting.... i feel a little more at ease that i am not the only one....
still doesn't fix the issue, which i feel is the radio charging waaaay too aggressively, but what can we do
Could be the fact that the app is taxing the cpu and causing the device to heat up...
Same problem with my iphone 4 and appradio1... Cell phone is very hot after 5 minutes plug... Horrible! 
(((
I hope my iphone will survive...
same too !!!
is there any "consummer" action because the list of problems....get me worry...
I'd becurious to know who indemnify me against any possible iPhone damage... 
really good answer
Pioneer has a disclaimer out saying it is not responsible for any damage to IPhones........Just a FYI.
My Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket gets very hot, even on short trips. One day when the phone was in my pocket in the sun and very hot, when we got in the car it kept giving an over heat warning. It concerns me for long trips. I don't have a way to put it in front of the AC Duct to keep it cool.
What firmware are you running? I just updated to 5.1.1 and so far I've noticed my phone doesn't heat up anymore. I've only been using it for a week or so, but worth giving it a try.
It still gets hot. I know for a fact on the AppRadio 2. It got hot with 5.0, 5.1, and it still does with 5.1.1 on my iPhone 4S

Oh well, so much for that. I will continue to monitor my phone. For the record I'm using an iPhone 4S and the original AppRadio.
I also had the AppRadio SPH-DA01, and it did the same thing as well with my iPhone 4S.
if you are running a gps antenna all the time, and it's exposed to sunlight with a constant power supply to keep the screen light, it'll get real hot real fast.
I have my iPhone mounted in an adjustable arm the sits right over my vent so I can hit the AC on it if it's a hot one all around.
My cable placement on my install however I setup specifically to allow for this.
I have an AVH-P8400BH, and hot diggity does the SD Card heat up when it's the main media source. Even after 15 minute drives.
I have a Galaxy Nexus and I've noticed this too. I tend to always have WAZE open and I have to say it's hot all the time. The very few times I just had the phone connected but nothing running I never noticed it being hot, but that might be the point.
yesterday my iphone4 went into safety mode. It said it was too hot and wouldn't work until it cooled down. I had to hold it in front of the AC vent for a few min to cool it down.
Mine phone has gone into that "safety mode" like ten times
iOS 4 & 5
Three different iPhones. (I take advantage of the AppleCare plan)
Can't say what the root of the problem is. It's not the iOS, not the phone (unless I got three faulty phones) I'm pretty convinced that it's the screen being left on the whole time. Maybe not the screen but the battery usage. I was told once that your touch screen uses the most battery out of anything on your phone. Is there not a way that we can use appradio without having the screen on? Running the apps in the background? MIKEDECARO? Any ideas?
