Metallic Window Tint Problems?
Greetings everyone, I am about to get window tint. I am considering tint with embedded metal to reduce the amount of heat transmitted, it gets hot here in southern Alabama and legal tint is 35%. I have been told it could affect my navigation or sat radio. Now as far as I can tell the GPS and sat radio receiver is located in the shark antenna??? So I don't think it would affect our cars?? If you have any information I would be so thankful!!

Radio is ok as it uses the external aerial, not sure about the GPS as I don't know where the aerial for that is located, if it also uses the external unit it should be unaffected.
