I tinted my A3 yesterday. I have one driver window and one back window to go. I found out on a few website that tinting back window could cause problem for radio reception.
Anyone here have A3 tinted and any reduce in radio reception, if you notice at all?
Thanks for the input.

AM is like having an old analog radio dial with it not being tuned perfectly. You get a faint background of another station. It's weird that it's only present when the car is stopped. As soon as you are moving it goes away.

that will help greatly with AM reception.
formula one pinnacle (or comparable) is a good choice for the rear windshield.
then again, you may have a mismatch of tint that is quite noticeable....
if you have a radar detector, then you will lose sensitivity (level of drop depends on what detector and what film you use).

take care.
