I've decided im going to tint the windows at Ziebart - 32% Solar Gard High Performance Quantum Tint.

Has anyone experienced GPS or radio reception problems because of the metallic layer in the window tint?

I don't have nav, but I've had no problems with my 20% llumar either. Saw absolutely no difference in AM or FM reception.

Llumar works great with no problems.

I just recently got an 08 tsx with a navi and I asked the sales rep that if i got tint would it affect my GPS. He said that the antenna is on top of the car so you are good.

The XM antenna is on top of the car. The GPS antenna is actually under the rear deck of the car. You would need to worry about it when getting tint. Just get a non-metalic tint and you should be fine.

Oh really? Dangit! What lies they tell me at the dealership. Well, I know there is another type of tint besides the metallic which is the Ceramic. I think that suppose to be safe for people with gps systems. My friend has a new G35 and got the ceramic tint which was like $300.

Well thanks for informing us before we made a mistake!
