Tinting the windshield

Tinting the windshield
Is there any issue tinting the windshield on cars with the heated windshield? Does it cause any issues with the other systems such as the rain sensing wipers or lane keeping assist? I typically do a very mild 5% tint on my windshields to get the UV protection from the film. It does a great job of keeping the car cooler in the summer and protecting the dash and interior from damage.

Hmmm
Good question. I have my RLX front windshield tinted but it is not heated. I do not think that it would be an issue since the rear windshield has a defroster with no problems. There are no issues with the radar as that is housed in the rear view mirror mount which the tint is cut around. Not sure about the wipers but since the tint is on the inside - probably not ... ?
I got the lightest tint possible since front windshield tinting is illegal but I have seen online that there are some legal clear ones now.

The web site shows that "Front windshield de-icer" is part of the Advance package. I pick up my RLX on Tuesday, I'll look for the thin wires described in the owners manual when I get it home.

The manual says that it works when the button for the rear window defogger/heated side mirror is used. There is not a dedicated button for it. Nothing on the Acura web site or owners manual indicate it is only on Canadian models. I'll find out when I pick up the car on Tuesday.

It started raining on the drive home and it has been raining ever since. It isn't supposed to be sunny again until the end of next week - I will post some pictures then. Thanks for asking
