i was told that i might need a special tint so my OEM navi wont get messed up. is this true? i'm plannin on tinting my car and a friend told me i might need carbon tint so it wont interfere with my navi. sorry if this was already posted, but i didnt see it.

question 2:
what's a nice percent for a OB coupe? =] can some people post pics of the OB tinted G's for me if it's not any trouble. thanks!

sorry last but not least one more question! haha do you guys know of any good tinting areas in San Diego/Chula Vista, CA?

sorry to be such a bug, thanks in advance.

 

bump?

 

Never heard of that but yet again I dont have one... I'd go with 15%

 

never heard of carbon tint??? 20% is good

 

i heard about it also, usually with some tints that have some metallic parts in them like the "titanium" ones, but it's not proven, I just heard of this

I have navi and tint and works fine

 

also 20% is good, I would recommend California Tint in Rosemead, since that's the only place I take it to have my cars tinted, but it's first come first serve and you live pretty far from it, so i don't know if you'd be willing to go there

 

you could go with CERAMIC tint. that's the most non-metallic tint out there i think. i have llumar metallic and have no problems with my navi

 

thanks so no other closer shop suggestions?

 

isnt the oem nav antenna external anyways??? if so thats why it wont mess with it

 

 

GPS antenna is located directly behind the display/AC auto amp in the 07's

 

The only thing I've read/heard is that the reflective tint could cause problems
with the navi. A tint shop would have this kinda information available since
that's their job! All ya gotta do is ask.......

 

will revisit this once I get my tint redone.

 

I heard/read same issues with metalic.
I went with Huper Optik film which is ceramic and no problems.
Darker the % of tint the better it looks imo, but it also can be a LE magnet if fronts are too dark.
Depends on your State laws.

 

+1^^ Carbon Tint is some what brownish, unlike the metallic kind thats dark and shining. Doesn't like good on a G IMO. I have 22% & I love it.
