[QUOTE="NCH, post: 435013, member: 19884"] Mystery solved: IT IS THE REAR WINDSCREEN TINT! Had the v-Kool 40 removed and the key fob range improved significantly. Range not as awesome as the 320d courtesy car but it's at least something acceptable. Going to test thoroughly again before I present final verdict to SC. v-Kool tint films are metallic, often associated with signal interference. I'm not risking it again this time so I'm gonna get ceramic film. v-Kool 40 Visible Light Transmittance 43% Solar Energy Rejection 65% Visible Light Reflected 10% UV Rejection 99% Can somebody suggest me something with similar spec? Prefer bigger names like 3M, Llumar, Huper Optik ... It has to be ceramic, and relatively dark to match v-Kool 40. I've got v-Kool 70 for front windscreen and v-Kool 40 for 4 windows. Doesn't it look funny if I have 3 different tints on 1 car? Will do it someday next week so I still have some time to do some research. I kinda like the performance of VK40, what a shame to let it go something inferior :( Good tint vs. Good fob range .. not easy to decide at all If only I could have both then it would be perfect ....
