Would you post a couple pictures of your car with the tint job? Or anyone. I want to get a few looks at different tints before I get mine done. Thanks

I'll try and snap a few pics later if I can, currently I'm on daddy duty.

EDIT: I didn't have a chance to take any pics, I'll try tomorrow.

You have an intelligent key. Just use the button on the door handle (which you have to put your hand on anyways.)

But back on topic ... I've had metallic tint on my car since 12/06. Never had any problem with onboard systems. All windows are tinted, but not the windshield.

lol I know! Sometimes during the summer I like to roll my windows down as I'm walking up to the car though...

And I agree... metal tint... doesn't effect anything.

Actually, FWIW, the small antenna on the rear of the roof is for the satellite radio. The GPS antenna is located under the instrument panel cover, according to the factory manual (page AV-491).
