Overheated CDs...?

After playing a CD for awhile (20minutes or more), ejecting the CD results in 3rd degree burns on my fingertips. Well, that may be exaggerating, but not by much. Is this normal for the stock Bose??

Yes, I experience this in all my vehicles, the CD's or cassettes(remember them?) get very hot. As long as they aren't smoking, I'm not worrying.

Back when i had the original head unit it, and the entire car was running hotter than normal, the actual CD unit would display "Overheat" or something to that effect and would not play the CD.. It was crazy!

Even good head units make CD's very hot.

This is normal for any CD player, the disc is spinning at 200-530 RPM's, that will get anything a little warmed up.

This is normal for any CD player. Even more so with aftermarkets as compared to Blose, care of the amps being in the unit itself, and not slapped onto the back of the speakers.
