How well do these NFC tags last in heat? I was thinking about putting them in the car.

Hi there, Great question! Our recommendation is anything up to 158F is fine. Anything hotter than that may cause the PVC to become temporarily soft until the tag cools down. The actual NFC chip inside the tags will still be perfectly usable. It'd take quite a bit to actually stop the tags from functioning. To give you a rough idea, we laminate the tags (with the NFC chips already inside) at approximately 347F. We've also had a couple of customers get a little creative and mould the tags with heat guns with zero issues. Hope that was helpful. Kindest regards, WhizTags

I got mine in September so it hasn't been too hot. They seem pretty well made and they will stick very well to whatever you put them on so I wouldn't advise you to stick them in the car. I am very pleased with these tags. Just wish I had more places to use them. Use NFC task launcher to write to them, it is super easy to use.

I have been using them for over a month now and I haven't had any problem. The spec says they should work up until about 149 degrees.

I live in Texas and keep some in the car. I haven't had any problems with them melting or breaking down.

I would say no. I don't think they would hold up between the heat from the headlights and weather. They'd work if you were doing something inside your car...

I haven't looked at how they get held up, whether it's double sided tape or something else. But id use zip ties so I wouldn't have to worry. And if you wire them up to your ignition they'll turn off when you turn the car off, but if you hook them straight up to the battery they will stay on. Not to worry though, that's what the wireless remote is for.

The pads are fine in the sun. No problem with that. The real question is "how will my phone do in the direct sun?" I have been very happy with these. The best location in my truck is on the top of the steering column. There is a nice flat spot in front of my dash display. On my other car, the pad is on the dash on a curve. It performs well even on a curved surface. Hope this helps.

Hi Ron. I imagine that like any adhesive it would be better to apply these covers when the temperature is neither extremely hot or cold. I have had no issue with these staying on since I applied them, although the temperature range where I live only goes from about 50F (10C) up to 100F (35C). The covers look great & do there job protecting the duco.All the best, Bob.

I have been using the strips for about 15-16 months already on my Subaru. They work as advertised and hold up the heat very well (up to 38 Celsius). They always look as if they were newly installed. Overall I 100% recommend this product: easy to install, durable, almost invisible, does protect door edges.

@ Benjamin H.Well. I put mine inside my wife's car. Hid it in the back with the jack where I would have access to it to change out the batteries. They only last about a week, but you don't loose the data. If your covering more spaces of time. I'd erase it after each download. Otherwise it gets monotonous searching through old data. The magnet is pretty strong but I wouldn't put it under the car. At a hundred bucks I'd hate to have lost it. Is picks up the signal pretty good inside the car, maybe under the seat.Hope that helps Good luck. Just remember; you ask questions, you get answers. @ Benjamin H.Well.

The instructions say not to expose it to heat and/or UV sunlight for prolonged periods or it will degrade the sensor. They're best used as a temporary "band aid" solution on your jacket, or pack, or even in the car. Good to have a dozen around but won't take the place of a dosimeter. If stored in a cool dry place they are good for 10+yrs.

I have used these pens for years, but I have never deliberately left them in a vehicle for an extended period of time, maybe the occasional weekend here or there, but I don't think it should be a problem, they don't seem to be too sensitive to heat or cold. I recommend them, I regularly use them to write on wet or frosty items, when a Sharpie can't. I think would put your pen(s) in a small zipper bag just to be safe until you see hav they react in your climate this summer. Good idea keeping one with your CERT gear, I should probably thow one in with mine too.

According to the manufacturer: Durable, zip-close re-sealable packaging; withstands extreme conditions and temperatures (-22F to 149F). I bought these specifically for my car since they can withstand extreme temps.

I use the heated seats in my jeep with these covers on. There is no problems with them. The covers don't melt nor do I see any other problems yet. I have used the heaters a few times, but so far there is no negative results.

As far as I recall I do not remember anything about this item working with near field communication. I believe this is strictly a bluetooth item so if NFC is used in some capacity I believe you would be correct in assuming it is only used in pairing the devices. I can tell you it works well in my BMW with no issues. I also have one in my house that works very well.Dan

I have a disc on my dash. I live in San Antonio where our summer temps easily exceed 110°F! Also, the round & rectangular "magnets" aren't magnets. They're metal plates. The actual magnet is the round part you see with their logo. I am using 2 with my phone because my Trident case is a bit thick.

Stickers feel like good quality. If you will have it under covers like you say I think it will survive. I have a little tikes car for my kid outside for over a year and the sticker is already fading a bit but nothing crazy. Mostly cause of the sun I believe

I had my Sticky Pad on the car dash board all summer, with my sunglasses on it, and it was fine. It does get hot in Alabama, so I can say sticky pad will not melt in direct sunlight, and does not stop working.
