SNS And Window Tint
SL members,
I was reading on some of the info about the scion navi and not to tint your windows due to interfering with the navi is this true? do you think I could also change out my antenna for a stubby one without messing up my navi? Any help would be great!

When I had my sirius radio in my Eclipse the installer put the circular antenna on the dash board by the window and my signal was still very clear and strong.

I have mine under the dash (below the plastic) and my windows tinted at 30%. The tinting myth is exactly that, a myth. If my antenna can see through solid plastic, I'm going to wager a bet that says it can see through tint.

the tint it more refers to is a metallized tint, which WILL interfere.
just talk to the tinter and he can choose a suitable material that won't have issues.
as far as the stubby.. that's for the radio... nothing to do with nav functions.. and it'll be absolutely fine.
