From what I understand, metallic paint does not affect radio or gps, isn't hat what the shark fin is for??? I like the 50% tint all around, nice and uniform, plus, with auto interior dim on rear view, 35% may be a little dark

It affects Radio reception. The radio antenna is in the Back window. Also if you have a GPS reviever or XM/Sirus radio antenna in the windshield, it will likly stop working.

The window tint goes INSIDE the rear window, leaving the antenna outside of it. It won't affect reception.

I've had window tint in every car I ever owned, and it's never affected radio.



The only time I ever had window tint affect any type of reception was when I had an Alpine GPS system installed in my Lexus, and the antenna was on the dashboard near the windshield wipers. I then got my whole front windshield tinted, and lost the GPS signal. So I had to relocate the GPS antenna to the top of the windshield where there was a small cutout for the rearview mirror. This allowed the signal in.

In theory it should affect your reception, but it does a little bit. Some times when your car is covered by tree's or in a restricted area, it gets some signal from the other windows through the car. It affects it a little bit. I lost radio reception on a few channels.
