Don't think there will be much of a problem. Only heard about people having trouble with the navi, but even that was fixed.

How are you enjoying the car? Gonna join us for the meet on the 27th?

Only an issue with NAV - won't affect radio.

Your radio antenna is inside the rear window. Since tint is applied on the inside of the glass, it will not effect your signal reception.

I have tinted the windows and noticed that it just about ruined my AM radio reception. Not a big deal for most people, but I love talk radio.

I had 20% metallic tint put on my TSX about a month ago. The only problem I have had (so far) is that my AM reception is a little weaker, other than that no issues.

I have a friend who was Army Reserve and just returned from Iraq. The bf of a friend of mine is currently deployed there with the Marines. Coming to the meet is a Navy man. If you can, do join us. I'd like to meet you and congratulate you on the purchase in person. I'll PM you the info that went out to the others about the meet.
