Hi All,
As in the subject.
I have radio renault in traffic 2009.
The radiator on the back of the radio is very hot.
I accidentally touched it and get burned.
Should this be so?

No it shouldn't get so hot I'd have thought... you don't say if it is working or not!

Have you tried it with the speakers disconnected - obviously you'll get no sound? You may have a damaged speaker or wiring which would cause it to run hot.

Radio is working fine.
The speakers I checked by radio options: left, right, front, rear.
All speakers are working. Ther is sound.
Maybe You know what temperature the radiator should have?

Somethings got to be wrong.... the heat sink, radiators as you call it should not run that hot you burn yourself.

They do get hot when running at full power but not that hot to cause burns! It needs to be looked at for safety reasons.

It doesn't sound right to me, I can't tell you the actual temperature the manuals never state such details... but they may state on how to set the unit up when servicing.
