Just got mine done with metallic tint, and the CA is definitely affected. It's too early to tell a pattern, but seems like when it's sunny it is affected more and works only about 6 out of 10 tries. At night it seems to work more, 9 out of 10 times. Doesn't matter windows up or down. (The frequency day vs night could just be by chance.) SO, I'd like to resurrect some more questions which have not been answered:
- Does anyone DEFINITIVELY know where the sensors for CA ENTRY are located?
- Is there any proof that the sensors or wiring for them are sensitive to water? Typically, water affected components simply don't work at all in my experience. But I don't know how the CA actually works (is it short range blue-tooth?). And I asked my installer, who I know on a personal basis, and he said the max water he used is less than 18 oz (the size of the bottle he used) for the whole car, and most of it was applied/squeegied off, so I find the water theory a bit hard to believe.
- The consensus seems to be that metallic tint can/does interfere with radio wave signals, such as radar, blue tooth, and the radio, correct?
- Ceramic based is not affected, as per most posts I see?
