Depends on the tint. Metallic tints will decrease range on any RD mounted in the car. Also, keep the laser detection sensor window below the tint band in the windshield.

Re: Valentine 1 Install

I have 15% all around and haven't had any problems with rear detection. I didn't go with a front strip because the factory strip hides the V1 quite well and I didn't want to lose any range up front

I have 21% tint all around. The front detection is a lot better than rear, but rear is still very sensitive.

Re: Valentine 1 Install

right ... just don't want to shell out over 400 bones on a RD and have it's capability severely crippled and still get nabbed by the popo's. According to that article, I'm lookin at like 50% reduciton in effectiveness. Hmm...cost vs. effectiveness.
