    window tint does have an effect on AM radio reception, but not on our cars. Some new cars have some crazy special antenna that requires a slightly more expensive tint film in order to not affect the reception. either that or my tint guy is a scam artist, but i'm pretty sure he's not since he only put the expensive tint on my mom's BMW.

    I had this discussion with my tintmeister, and used ceramic stuff to ensure radar detector, cb, etc. would not be affected.

    On another odd note, after putting new tires (Dunlop SP60s, replacing ContiExtremeContacts) on wife's car (outside mast antenna), radio interference declined considerably.
