It is in my 05 Legacy, but I specifically asked for a non-metallic tint. i didnt ask for a non-metallic tint didnt know i needed to haha. and yeah my antenna is in the rear window. that sucks.. all i really do is listen to am 910...and that is unbarable. ldivinag 01-03-2006, 05:55 PM IntoTheWRX']my tint doesnt seem to be effecting my radio on my 05 wrx if you have the antenna IN the glass, then using metallic tints can AFFECT it. but if your antenna is external to the vehicle (like my old 02 wrx), then it should not be an issue. my 04 STi has the leads in the rear glass. i specifically told the installer no metallic tint film... jc5d5d 01-03-2006, 11:36 PM I had the same problem when I tinted my rear windows..Heres how I fixed the problem..pop the trunk and locate the antenna wire under the rear window, splice that wire so you can add another speaker wire to it, and finally you just ground the wire you just added on and you're done... ldivinag 01-04-2006, 03:18 PM I had the same problem when I tinted my rear windows..Heres how I fixed the problem..pop the trunk and locate the antenna wire under the rear window, splice that wire so you can add another speaker wire to it, and finally you just ground the wire you just added on and you're done... if you are going to this this, make the wire around 31" long. 31" picks up the middle of the FM band.
