You stated 'heat proof'; well on the concrete wall, at the head of my driveway it gets to 159f in Phx AZ sun. Has it been tested for 159?

I live Phoenix and I haven't noticed any problems in the several weeks I've had this unit. Of course it hasn't been 159 (not even since I moved here in 1977) so I don't know how that kind of heat will effect it. What part of the valley gets to 159?

I am currently using outside on my porch without issues. Temp rated 40C to -25C on the box.

The only heat issue i have had is from the sun coming in the windshield, so i made a cover out of cardboard to insulate it from the suns heat. I also painted the cardboard black to make virtually not seen from the outside. I did cut holes for the lens and the power cord and mounting bracket clip. Unit is working very good and i am in Arizona and it has been in the high 90,s already.

So far the strip has performed well. It is barely detectable. I live in Maryland and it certainly does not get as hot here. We are in the high 90's today. My car is parked mostly inside, so it is rarely exposed to longterm heat. For the few times that it has been exposed to sun and heat, I have not noticed any problems.

Hi, Not sure, it got about 90 today where I am near Seattle, the shade was super hot and soft to the touch. Plus my car felt like a furnace. Not so sure how it'd do in your Arizona heat. Not sure I'd chance it. Car Sunshade Jumbo x-shade is one I got for my parents and other than I can't refold like the directions this one seems to work better. Hope that helps.

I am not positive but I think I read on the internet that most are high-heat resistant up to 500F. Good luck.

I havent had the opportunity to use it in temps that low. I do, however, suspect it will be susceptible to water and ice, as it does attach to the license plate frame and will be out in all kinds of weather. So far it has done what I wanted it to do. I did wrap all connections in electrical tape, as I think moisture will be its main enemy.

I have not used since winter. Texas is hot after May. I use in my RV. I think it has a default setting

It's definitely well insulated. Appears to be some type of expanding foam, probably 3/4" or more thick judging from wall thickness. I can say that if you run it at 195F for 14 hours with outdoor temp in the 60-70 range, it's hard to detect any surface heat with your hand on the door or sides.

I live in Arizona, where the outside temps get to 118*F, and have had no issues with anything warping.

It's been down there in temperature a few times here (NC) and it's been good. I have a cover on it, use it in combination with a blanket, and generally have the heat set to 66 or so at night.

Check with the manufacturer, but personally I wouldn't leave anything out in such heat.

Didn't melt for me in the AZ summer, but I also didn't leave it on the dash out in the sun without a sunshade on my windshield all day long. I keep it in my center console and place it on the dash when needed, takes 3 seconds and I believe that it extends the life of my investment. I would imagine that if you left it permanently on the dash under the sun the rubber would harden and loose it's "stickyness" within a couple of months which would render it useless, and yeah it may even melt but I am just speculating.

I am living in Southern California... Recently cam working fine above 100F outside. Dont know what was inside my car but it was deadly hot. It is good question 'cos my GPS do not work very well in this sort of heat.

I installed it in Phoenix where it hits 115+ degrees 100 days or more out the year, and unless you push on the face of it and it breaks (which is why I needed a replacement), it seems to work fine even in direct sunlight and brutal heat all day...

The exterior of the lock is weather resistant; the interior is not. I can't vouch for the exact operating temps but 95F shouldn't be a problem. I have no experience with freezing temps as i live in Los Angeles.

No this product is not heat proof you may want to look at some of the these Thermo-Tec products http://www.thermotec.com
