CDR23 radio/CD player overheats and shuts down

[DLewis]

Maybe someone can help me with a problem I am having.

I have a CDR23 in my 2003 Boxster (no amp or external CD player). It overheats when playing CD's and shuts down.

Thought it was the radio, so I bought a new Continental radio/single CD player.

Today it did the same thing when playing a CD, it just shutdown.

I pressed the reset button and it works again.

Now I am thinking something is wrong with the climate control or the "flaps" the divert the air to various places.

Ever heard of this problem in a Boxster?
Doesn't seem like it should get that hot in the radio compartment?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks, Dean

It has been suggested I add an amp.
Might give that a try this week.
