    MPVI Pro Interface Overheating?

    How warm should the interface box get when it's plugged in?

    The back of my unit gets up to about 120*F plugged into the USB port in my 72*F house, and about 130*F plugged into the OBDII in my 90*F car. (Measured with an infrared thermometer)

    I shorted my OBDII cable the other day while I was unplugging the 15-pin connector. It blew the car's diagnostics fuse. I replaced the fuse, and I've been able to log data and write calibrations without any problem.

    I never paid much attention to the temperature of the interface before, but now I'm paranoid after the short circuit. Do you guys think this is a problem?
