Tinted windows - radio interference?
I have tinted windows on my 09 CLK350 - believe they're at the state maximum for GA.
I've noticed that FM radio reception in this car is not that great compared to other cars of the same calibre that I ride in. Some stations are quite bad, and although I don't expect it to be the quality of my wife's C250's HD radio - it's markedly worse. (I have the Audio 20)
I've researched about tinted windows and that certain types can interfere with the FM signal. Is this a known issue with the Audio 20 or is there a good way I can identify if the tinted windows are the source of interference?

I had this issue after my tint, but with my AM radio didn't work at all and my key fob stopped working unless I point it directly at the IR sensor. Idk how, but just recently my AM radio magically fixed itself but the key fob still doesn't work. I miss unlocking my car from a distance :/
