Yup, V-Kool is not Smart Tag friendly. Have to go extra slow, OR I take it out of the window. So far, for GPS is okie. My GPS can work on V-Kool.

that means such tint will block some sort of frequency in & out of the car.

no matter it's GPS, touch & go, auto-gate & i wonder how about handphones?

i think it won't effect radio reception coz the antenna is outside gua...

is it the darkness, thickness or paper quality that effects? thanks  thumbup.gif

Not really sure about radio reception because my antenna is like bee-sting style.
So far, I've tried SmartTag, GPS and auto-gate remote.
HPs are fine.

its from 3M so yeah.....the quality is superb. i've been using 3M tints since i owned a car. the difference with having no tint and having the crystalline 70 is heaven and hell.

but as for smarttag, unfortunately it's not friendly. so i have one part above my rear view mirror which is not tinted. so i'll hold my smart tag there when i need to use it. not so much of a big problem to me.

Don't worry, if it's not friendly, then just stick out your hand while holding the SmartTag device. icon_rolleyes.gif

not sure about other brand, was told wingard uses special glue which can form something like a sec and thats the reason they can do 2 in 1. wall. eco however dual layer, heat + security, where the security is fully rely on the security film. correct me if i m wrong. smile.gif

Security rely on security? You mean solar on security, right?
