I am considering tinting my car. I did so on my M3, but found my AM radio reception suffered. I do not want anything to interfere with my radio or comfort access which I dearly love. Anyone with firsthand experience on this issue?

The tint should not matter unless maybe it has an extremely high amount of metal in it. Check out the tint link in my sig. My tint is one of the best when it comes to heat/light resistance properties and is not dark, but contains some metal. The metal has zero effect on anything about my car, but I do not have comfort access.
