Question Window Tint OEM or aftermarket

Just looking at some of the SAV details posted by members dont seem to mention if you have windows tinted at time of purchase or as an after market option. Also 3M produce a carbon film that doesnt react with the radio signals, however does enybody know if it interfears with the TV reception or signals.

OEM window tinting price seems to be incredibly expensive compared to the same specification film used by after market specialists. Anybody have information about the best types of window film that will or wont work.

Is the TV antenna in the shark fin on the roof or molded in to the rear windows? If its part of the shark fin, then window tinting wouldnt interfear with the reception signal would it.

bozz is 100% right. To be safe, get factory tints, and match the front two if you want. I just got my driver/pass windows match tinted, came out perfect.
