Alpine Navigation and Metallized Tint

Will metallized tint (majority of all tint jobs) affect the signal of an ALPINE navi system and its ability to process your current location. I drive a 2000 clk 430 and I have an aftermarket alpine unit and I am planning on including the alpine navi system...

The usual location for the GPS antenna is under the dash pad, so unless you plan to tint the windshield, I cannot see a problem.

Nor sure about the nav, however I have heard stories that it does affect cell phone reception. Why not go for a ceramic product like Huper?
