I live in Florida. A parked car can heat up very quick and very high. Could this be In a car glove compartment or center counsel?

I do not believe this could constitute a problem. To be on the safe side, write the seller with that particular concern. My purse is stuffed to the brink and my fear would be trying to find the spray fast enough to contain the threat. Perhaps some type of enclosure could be designed.?....

I guess it depends on how hot it gets, but I agree with the other answer. It's pressurized and heat isn't the best thing for it. If you think it's better in your car instead of on your person then I'd contact the manufacturer.

I would not do it myself. I might put it behind the tire but then you might forget to retrieve it.

As it states on the can or packaging, it should not be stored where the temperature exceeds 120 degrees. That is pretty standard for any aerosol.If placed in an area of high heat, it may not explode, but it will eventually lose pressure past the seals and leak.

The application I used it for did not involve heat, so I can't answer based on any real world information. If I were to guess, the inside temperature of a car in summer is probably not going to melt it.

It depends on the temperature. If your car is outside and the temp is below freezing you could keep it plugged in but you dont want it plugged in unless the air temperature calls for it. My useage is less extreme. I'm usually parked in a garage and the temperature "usually" stays above about 40 degrees in an average winter. So, in an average winter I would probably not plug it in at all. Last year was very cold; there were several weeks where the temperature was closer to 25 degrees in the garage and several times I couldn't park in the garage and the car was outside at about -10 degrees. Those kind of temperatures can really wonk-out a car battery. I had some starting problems and decided to get this heater ready for this year. This heat strap is kinda an insurance policy for out of the average temperatures that may occur this year. Guess what, I'm already using it. The temperature is 20 degrees below average today, 5 degrees F this morning and my car is sitting in the driveway because of a project in the garage.

I don't know, but if you live in a warm climate or intend on leaving this in the car I would go with another item. This thing breaks in heat.

Yes. I would not hold my hand in front of the parts that heat up for an extended time, just because I always feel it's better to err on the side of caution, but the entire body of the heater is cool to the touch. The hot parts are well-recessed behind deep fins on the front of the unit.

I'm in NY and we've had some upper 80s and 90 degree days this Summer... maybe a week or two. It is still working in my car. Then again, I try to park in the shade. I have only had it for one Summer. If you use a windshield shade, perhaps that may help you when your car is parked.

I have a 40ft motor coach and I leave my unit in it all year long in storage or not. It does not create enough heat to be a fire hazard.

Although they are more temp "resistant" than others, a hot car will probably degrade them over time. Room temp or cooler seems best.

No idea. We live in South Florida and don't drive without air condition in our vehicle all year round.

If you mean would the heat damage it, I doubt it. However I always hide mine in the glove compartment to deter thieves. Because of the detachable magnetic mount it's easy to leave the suction cup attached to the window but remove the actual unit.

I live in Florida and the cars get hot. I haven't had any issues but it is an interesting question and I will have to look through the manual if there are any warnings about temperatures but I think these kind of machines are built to be used under extreme circumstances.

Honestly, it does get pretty hot, because it is fully made of metal. I put a black driving glove or leather glove over top of it when I'm out of the car. Easy fix. It's not untouchable, and cools down quickly, but I still prefer to have it covered.

I thought about that before I got it, but A/C won't hurt your phone. When the heat is on in my car it usually vents out of the bottom by my feet. The only time I wouldn't use it is if I had the defroster on, when heat comes out of the vents at the top where the phone would be mounted. I think the product is worth it, and that was a good question!

If your cat is at 4K F = RUN!!! There is no WAY it is that hot. Your car would burn up.

My case is to loose so I don't have any issues of it over heating or getting hot at all. I wish it was a bit more snug to be honest with you. I keep it in my glove box all of the time.

It would be too strong to leave in your car closed up. You could prob hang it somewhere when you get in. I wouldn't leave it in there.

I put it inside a storage bag in the rear of my SUV. It depends on your specific vehicle which you did not reference in your question.
