Dear All,

Does anyone faced this kind of issue or not?

I have newly installed 3M Crystalline at my windscreen, they also install together with a 7" of sunvisor. Please refer photo below.

Sales person have informed me earlier that Smart Tag will not function with 3M Crystalline, so I request them cut out a "space" to put Smart Tag on that location (that red dash line area), so I no need open my car window at the toll booth.

But still the Smart Tag not function while I at the toll booth, when put my Smart Tag on the highlighted area. The toll screen prompt "Smart Tag Not Detected" or "No Smart Tag" or no respond. I have tried to replace the 9v battery & borrow another unit of Smart Tag. But still cannot work..

Wish to seek advise from you all. Do I need to ask them to cut out the 7" sunvisor on that highlight area? Just leave the original dark shade without the 7" sunvisor. Do you think the Smart Tag will function as normal?

Please advise. Many Thanks..

I prefer hide my Smart Tag, and not put on the dashboard all the time.

Plus the Smart Tag cannot function behind the 3M Crystalline tinted. So only use that highlighted area for the Smart Tag purpose..

Do u know why he ask the question? It's not because of the Smart Tag device, but he tint itself.
He is asking for the solution.

Btw TS, the part u highlighted, still have the 3M?

TS, just hold your Smart TAG really close to the windscreen, like just before your Smart TAG will touch the windscreen... It should work... My car also all way CR series... Its either you open window, or you just do as above. It worked for me everytime...

erm if the 7inch u stick underneath the 3m crystalline mean the UV/IR still be filter by 3m tint,so the smart tag sure wont be detected bro..or i miss read bout ur info u cut ur 3m tinted?

No sir, the 3M have cut off follow the shape of that highlighted area, during the installation. According from the 3M installer..

Now that highlighted area left the original black dot + 7" Sunvisor..

Hmm...try to stick the Smart Tag there, open ur window a bit.
Else, poke a few tiny holes at ur tint using really tiny pin or needle

Just try like I said... It worked on all my cars with 3M CR series... Just hold closer, and no need to be specifically at the sunshade area.

well , worse case would be to cut a small square hole for the smart tag sensor ...

Ok. Thanks Bro.. I try again on this..

I'm using 3M CR70 on the windscreen. Not even once I need to wind down the window when using smart tag. Just hold it anywhere above the meter cluster/on the dashboard area.

That's great. I'll try to do the same as you. Thanks..

I'm using CR70 as well, and yes i have to open my window to use the smart tag, but it's just a minor inconvenience as it really does help in keeping my car cool when parked under the hot sun.

But i've had it worked a few times while in car though (50% chance), but need to get very close to the bar before it gets detected.

ford fiesta? and you got your tint done at tintworks? the circled area doesn't work because the dots are too close to each other, unlike vios.

i have 3M CR70 on my windscreen too, no problem for smartag to work, just have to drive REAL SLOW (almost complete stop). the transaction will be delayed, it will show "no smartag" at first but continue to hold it until the transaction goes through.

better still, if your smartag has a lcd screen, u will be able to see whether smartag is transmitting as there is a indicator to show it is transmitting.

never have to wind down my window so far.

friend's vios have CR60 all over as well, transaction still go through with slow drive.

Haha.. maybe different tol has different sensitivity?

i am using genuine 3M crystalline solar film (CR70 + CR40) at authorized 3M dealer (with online certificate of 10 yrs warranty).



I totally have no problem using smart tag with the tint, just need to place the smart tag on my dashboard and it will work.

frankly speaking, i noticed there are a lot of ppl claimed that their "3M" tint got prob with smart tag, but i myself do not experience any. I do not know where you guys installed ur "3M" maybe just any outside workshop. but seriously i will nvr trust outside workshop that claimed to have 3M tint. in fact if you check on 3M malaysia website, there are only limited authorized dealer which sell it or so called qualified installer of the tint. The price you guys mentioned about the "3M" you have also varied. And apparently i believe most of you are told that there is only 5 yrs of warranty. and a lot of you guys do not even have the valid certificate on the warranty? maybe that's only what are being told by the workshop you did the installation?

especially for those who have prob with smart tag or even GPS, i seriously doubt that ur "3M" tint is genuine, as specified clearly on 3M website, their tint do not come with metal inside at all unlike vkool, it should not affect the smart tag as well.

i think instead of scratching ur head on this issue, maybe u want to confirm if urs is genuine in the first place?

for warranty, you should be given a code after installation to do the online registration.

im using cystaline 70. i do have a hole to use on smart tag but im not using the hole at all. juz put your smart tag device stick to your windscreen. and slow down ur car pretty slow. then will do.

i mean really drive slow and put your smart tag stick to your mirror. im using it everytime without problem.
