Icelink hot

I just installed the Icelink + in my 2006 X5 with digital DSP and the Icelink module gets pretty hot. Hot enough that if you hold it in your hand with a firm squeeze you have to put it down after about 5 seconds due to the heat.

Normal?

Normal? Not sure.

Typical of every Icelink we ever install here? Yes.

I don't think that 64-bit micro sees that heat shrink as a heat sink. I think that the engineer figured you can spell "heat sink" by leaving two letters out of "heat shrink".

Wait...the engineer was Hungarian... that can't be it... :)
