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.

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.

All my cars are on Crystalline

I'm the idiot you see sticking his hand out of the window at the Smart Tag lane  I refused to have the dark band at the top. If i go really slow through the lane I wouldn't need to wind down the window. I use 2nd and 3rd gen tags this one

Seriously though, the darker band also serves to let the smartag signal pass, but if it is stuck on the Crystalline (I highly doubt so), then it wouldn't work

If your car has a sunroof, you don't need to put your hand out of the window. 

Same issue here, is it true the slim smart tag has better signal range? The fat smart tag can't be detected via the sun visor.

I thought many say the fat one is the better one?

I thought many say the fat one is the better one?

I believed one of the reason fat smart tag is claimed to be better is bcos after so many years the reader still functional, unlike the slim one which reader tend to be unreadable after certain period. But in my case I just want it to be detected behind the sun visor lol.

guys, smartag is based on infra-red, which is blocked by the tint along with the IRR heat rejection.

regardless of the fat/slim type, it will not work.
the only way is to cut a hole for the beam to pass through
else wait for rfid.

last time vcool also like that.  if the car infront of me got 3m and vcool sticker, dont follow too close. likely get sangkut
