Next time we go somewhere, we'll try it out; I presume wither the drive in place, we'll discover a selection on the touchscreen that accesses the contents of the drive.

Most USB drives will heat up under use, some more than others. Anytime you use electricity to do "work", there's going to be heat as a byproduct.
In the car you won't notice it because the drive is only being read at a slow rate. It only takes a few minutes to write several hours worth of music to the drive, but several hours to listen to it. Each "bit" of data costs a tiny amount of heat, so when you try to do them all at once it builds up faster than the drive can cool off.
I don't recall the menu in the touchscreen for the USB audio, but there are several "tabs" across the top (about a quarter of the way from the top-top). USB is far to the right and may require arrowing over to get to it. It's something like "USB" or "Media" iirc.
