I had 35% metallic tint over my entire windshield on my TL and there wasn't any noticable loss in range with my V1.

I mean MUCH worse.
Somewhere on the V1 website there are some comparison charts and some brands block up to 80% of RF signals.
So that’s bad news for NAVI owners as well.
There’s always somebody who says “it doesn’t affect me”, but for the most part I would avoid metallic.
