I just left a local Chevy dealer after spending $200.00 to have them remove my console and place insulation underneath to supposedly keep the center console from getting extremely hot. It gets so hot my iphone overheats and my ipod cuts off due to temperature readings.

I was thinking of putting a thin layer or rubber (like a mouse pad) inside to help "buffer" the heat.

Any suggestions?

Ordering mine this coming week. Anything to alleviate some of the heat in there. Man it gets HOT.

Here's another good solution. Pricey. For this price I would rather buy thermo wrap instead.

That's where I store my lunch. Keeps it nice and warm.

I have a 2006 ZO6. This car came with minimum insulation/soundproofing. This in turn makes interior heat a chronic problem. After driving the car hard, opening the console lid is similar to opening a furnace door. Further, if your right leg happens to touch the console it will get your attention.

In an effort to make it better I bought and installed Elite Engineering's insulated tunnel plate. I noticed minimal improvement. I then added insulation around the shifter lower box. Still little to no help.

When I saw the Hinson thermal blanket I thought this is the answer. My engine builder agrees, however, his opinion is it could be longer. He suggests a custom blanket manufactured by a Cincinnati firm. Am taking his advise. Will report on it's effectiveness.

Hoping no need to make payments. lol
