Have any of you heard of this or had this problem, and if so what kind of remedies did you come up with?
I have regular sun shades that I put in the windshield when its out in the sun. I also put a regular wash cloth over the headunit to help with late-day sun through the windows and as a mild anti-theft device until I can think of something better.

Even with both of those up, the tablet can still get realllly hot. Hasnt crapped out on me yet though.
