Ah, but did you try another fuse? They can sometimes blow without looking blown ;)

I think you are correct.

I fitted a Blaupunkt head unit in my 1994 pre facelift and it used to get scarily hot. I fitted the same head unit in my current 2003 facelift and I can feel air movement round the edge of the double DIN adapter. Even after journeys of several hours, with the volume cranked up, it doesn't even feel warm (which is nice  :y).
