Default SolarGard Tint Affect Navi System???

Hey guys - I'm gonna get my car retinted in the next few days and was wondering if anyone knew if SolarGard window tint will affect my Navi system???

I've heard of lots of stories about certain tints affecting the Navi - anyone know which tints are safe?

Thanks in advance!

btw - i'm getting 13% all the way around - anyone have any pics of a similar setup?

No it wont. SolarGard is great. I've had that tint brand in the other 3 cars i've had in the past. Plus this one since it was brand new from Longo.
