Can leaving an iPod in the car damage it?

Question

I live in Texas and during the summer temperatures can crawl to about 101 outside. I want to know if it would hurt my iPod to leave it in the center console of my car when I am not using it.

Same thing for winter. If it's really cold can that hurt the iPods?

I am totally new to this and wanna make sure that they don't have to be kept at a certain temp. because of the computer chips and stuff. It's a regular video iPod (not a Nano) if that makes a difference.

Answer 1

yeah, excessive heat does damage all electronics

Answer 2

I live in Alabama and leave my ipod in the arm rest of my car and so far haven't had any problems.

Answer 3

no it can stand to about 100 C  

Answer 4

well

ipods arent that great to begin with

and no, never leave mp3s, cell phones etc in a car, cause all the heat just builds up

winter is not as bad, but still aint the greatest

Answer 5

well if you leave the ipod in direct sunlight it could damage it. So I suggest when you do have to leave your ipod in your car put it under the seat so it wont be in direct sunlight. hope this helped!

Answer 6

ya it isnt very good for the ipod to leave it in extreme temperatures
