Phone Over Heating with Android Auto

A little over a week ago I became the happy owner of a 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI. I used my Galaxy S7 Edge with the Android Auto for the first week. After a bit of a tricky time getting it paired it worked great! No disconnects, no phone issues, and it operated very smooth!

A couple days ago I switched back to using my Nexus 6P. I noticed yesterday the phone got VERY hot after using it with Android Auto for about 40 minutes. I figured since it was a hot day and with my interior being black, then it was mostly just heat the phone absorbed from inside the hot car. Today it was much cooler only 82 degrees, and I blasted AC on about medium the entiretime, and after about 30 minutes when I went to unplug the phone it was EXTREMELY hot again. It had to be at least 130-135 degrees F on the back cover. Because it was hot to the point of stinging my hand, but not enough to burn. Like a silver metal poll thats been in the sun for hours. About that kind of hot.

This was very shocking because as we all know the Nexus 6P has the coolest running 810 processor of any phone. I have never had it get hot before in many months of use. Only warm. I know it can't be a Android Auto problem since it doesn't happen to my S7 with the 820 processor. It seems that Android Auto is the final kryptonite for the 810 processor of the 6P. My M9 with the 810 got hot like this when playing intesive games while it charged. But nothing like that withthe 810 processor in tge 6P before. Is anyone else experiencing over heating issues with their phone? If so, what phone and what processor?
