Default Hot Touch screen

I was having a huge problem figuring out and trying different ways to input all my contacts into the car's phone system, I spent about 30mins to 1hr figuring out and after while I notice that the screen is going from warm to hot. Like putting your hand on your car when it had been sitting in the sun.

Does yours do that?

It's rather your unit is defective or it's just bad engineering. If they knew the screen gets hot easily they should build a fan.
