My Jensen JWM22 Stereo is 13 degrees warmer than the ambient temperature of the cabinet even when it is turned off (as measured with an IR temp gun).
It is even heating up the cabinet wood above it. The Jensen in my Imagine never got warmer than ambient when it was off or on.

This one also randomly turns itself on. It turned itself on when we were towing and again yesterday when the camper was just sitting in the driveway.

It's a 12v unit so it shouldn't be transforming any AC or have any sort of coils heating up that I can think of.

Any thoughts?
 
A couple of thoughts: when these units are "Off," they're not really off - they're in standby mode. As for turning on on its own, make sure there aren't any alarms set. I don't know about that specific unit, but many of them have an alarm capability and will come on with the set time. If those aren't the issues, I would contact your dealer about replacing the unit under warranty.
