Infotainment shut down due to Heat

As it's hitting 100 every day in California these days.

Friday, I get in the car (Parked outside all day)
Get in, and notice the Car says 100 deg on the dashboard.
All of a sudden my radio says 'Due to Overheat, Infotainment will shut down', which it promptly does!
After about 10 minutes of running the AC and driving, I can turn it back on.

Anyone else have this happen?

It's routinely been 112+ here in Phoenix lately, and I have NOT experienced this. My car is parked outside all day as well.

I've got the 2015 SEL Premium - do we have different infotainment systems?

The systems on the 2015 vs 2016 would be different, yes.

Please, let us know how battery degradation occurs, if at all, on your SEL. What kw per hour rate do you most frequently recharge at?

I have not had this happen to a car infotainment system, but I have seen it happen with things like smartphones so it's not that surprising. I also wonder if exterior/interior color combination might have something to do with it happening to one person but not another.

I'd suggest using a sunshade in the windshield and perhaps a towel over the dash covering the display, and perhaps investing in window tinting to help keep the rest of the interior cool. Here's the tinting on mine:
