RE: does tint affect radar detectors?
I dont think it affects radar but I know it affects verizon wireless signal. Its the only cell phone carrier that it affects. Everybody in my area braggs on their verizon service. It never worked for me worth a flip. I always use 5% tint on my cars. I had the front windows of my business tinted and all of a sudden everyone who has verizon lost most of their reception.

some brand tints have a metallic material in them that helps longevity of the tint. which may cause cell phone interference as he said above.
but radar detectors should not be affected. Radar detectors are constantly looking for input, and are not outputting any signal themselves.
