Yep, mine gets warm too. Seem to notice it more some times than others. I'm having the ceramic tunnel plate installed this week when I have coated headers, cats, & x-pipe installed.

I have had my 06 vette vert for 5 mos and just noticed this today. Believe me when it happens you notice it, it feels like there is heat blowing from the console.

Also weird, my onstar was not working for 4-6 weeks and then my battery went dead. When I jumped the battery the onstar was working again.

I love this car, but sometimes it seem possessed.

When I drive the car hard combined with running it long hours, I get heat seeping from every pore into the interior. It gets warm in there. Seems normal to me for the kind of car it is & kind of driving I am doing at the time.

There have been times in the 850 miles I've put on the car I have also checked to see if seat heater was on.

This is an excellent product. Mine was installed yesterday and there is no hint of heat.
