tint messing up radio????

[Guest cjmdwyer]

I have a 05 Honda Odyssey. It has a radio antenna imbedded in the right rear quarter glass. I had the glass timted by the tinter here at the dealership. My fm fades way quick going out of town and my am is almost non existent. If I do a scan through the am band I get one station. The dealership said its my aftermarket tinting interfering with the radio reception. Is this to be believed??

It is quite possible.

yes, sounds normal for a car with a embedded antenna. time to get XM radio

strong metallized film would do that.

[Mdog]

have the tint removed off the back window and put a NON METALIZED film in its place, problem solved.

looks like TINT_TERRORIST is at it again

This solution may very well help but I would get a bigger battery for the radio first to see if that helps pep boys or auto zone might have one

No extra charge for the giblets under the film.

if the antenna lines were "cleaned" with a razor blade

the reception would not improve with another film

surly a car dealer wouldn't lie
