well this morning drive to work key was room temp my guess.

but im still hitting the dealer to double check.

who has their car parked outside in a hot day or semi hot day and can check or has checked. like i said earlier mines parked out in the sun for the day so im guessing the heat is warming the components in the ignition. who the hell knows, my other car i didnt notice crap and my tc im treating like fine china haha

My key usually heats up pretty good.... I figure it's just the steering column or some other moving part. Now, if it were burning hot, I'd go straight to the dealer.

My key is often warm if I drove it for awhile, I think its normal. My previous car (a Civic) did the same thing. As long as its not red hot, I wouldn't worry about it.
