Foil insulation on windows

Hi Geoff,
Probably would have no significant effect provided that the foil was insulated from any metal body.
Experience has shown me that antenna behaviour is not always predictable so try it and see. A preliminary test using alfoil and sticky tape may give some indication.

As it will be on the inside I don't see it effecting the antenna.

I am about to do the same thing with the canopy windows on my D-Max. I went to Red Dot and picked up three screen shades for $2.99 each - cheap as chips ;=))

My view differs from those above; I am sure the foil will ruin the radio reception.

It is a well known problem that even after market window tinting affects the Prado radio reception, check on PradoPoint.
I am thinking of changing to an external aerial.

Geoff

I won't hazard a guess at radio interference, but watch the use of suction cups on your windows.

I had mine attached with suction cups and it started to lift the tinting. I don't know if it is a common problem or unique to me.

Cheers

What sort of antennae are you talking about here. Is this an AM/FM radio, mobile phone, UHF etc?

Antennae behave differently at different frequencies. Depending on your application it will be disastrous or have little impact.

As you are using sticky cups, stick it on and find out for yourself...
