new head unit hot!!! - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

i recently replaced the becker in my 300e, and have found that it becomes hot while driving! (~75-85°f to the touch) it doesnt get any hotter, but i am concerned that i did something wrong(i installed it myself). Has any one experienced this? if i did something wrong, how can i fix it?

thanks

I'd say that my Alpine unit gets hotter than that. Does yours have a flourescent display?

yeah mines a pioneer it does have a blue fourecent display i thought maybe because the guage of the wires is too low? i dont know though...

It is just due to the type of lighting in the display. Quite normal.
