Got tints, navi is off-any way to fix?

 

Remove tints. How many satellites does your navi recognize?

Or maybe try this: http://www.skinz.org/phone/cell.html

 

obv i dont want to remove tints i just put on

 

If the metallic material in the tint is causing the error, then you may not have any other choice. At least you will only have to replace the rear window.

This is odd because I also have metallic tint and have not had any navi issues...so far.

 

yeah i got 18% with titanium-it isn't bad, just slightly off and it seems like not all the time

 

lol, you should've done a search here before you for the tints. You would've come up with the conclusion "stay away from metallic tints".
It'll not only affect nav reception, but also AM radio and sometimes even FM.

 

I can no longer listen to MLB games on the AM.

 

didn't u say on a previous post that u had no problems with metallic tints?

 

i havent had any problems with my tint and navi......

until yesterday when it had me on a wrong road
after i hit the MAP / guide button it corrected me but very strange.....

 

yeah thats what i did and it went back fine

 

IF the navigation antenna is on the back part of the roof, how does the windows affect the navigation if it has tints on it???

 

It's under the back shelf; if you draw a vertical line, the line of sight passes through the rear window.

 

You're thinking of the XM antenna.

 

As long as the tints aren't causing any rattles.

Yeah, my navi works fine but I have lost some AM signal. Only radio station I listen to is NPR, so no big deal.

 

so the navi antenna is hidden under the back shelf??

 

 

Thanks for the explanation of where the navi signal comes from-now is there anyway to move it?

 

My my, aren't you just friendly in every post you make. Perhaps try asking for information on your boyfriend's BMW site.
