I have read that the plastic dots do not have an effect. I am in the same boat but with a Ford with the dots above the RVM. I am going to find a X and K band door opener and test the unit's LEDs at different places in the parking lot, even when the unit is on the limit of starting to alarm. As one member wrote, got to test it for yourself, let us know how it turned out, I will..
Is it the door opener remote that give of the x or k band?
I think you are talking about the dot matrix on the windshield. First of all the suction cups won't stick to them. I have my V1 mounted there and I personally didn't notice any drop in effectiveness. I did my own non scientific test with door openors and C/O KA. I didn't notice any difference. There might a slight decrease in sensitivity but you will hardly notice it.
Yes, if you are talking about what opens the door at say a Walgreens! They sense someone watching in and open the doors by reflection of the signal back to the sensor.
I used 3M packing tape to put over the dot matrix and I haven't had any problems with the suction cups letting go. Plus if you have the tint and dot matrix then you can't even see the tape on the windshield.

I'll try this, it's for my wifes Yukon Denali. Thanks!
Yes the dots can interfere, i had my V1 slightly blocked and now that its not it appears to be more consistent. But the dots on my car (Acura TL) are on the inside and have mettle properties.
I found the tape to pull off under the suction cups in heat, so i switched to plexi glass then to an actual glass plate.
X2. The dots on the glass of my Ford is a plastic film and you can feel them. If the dots are inside the glass, they could be made of part metal particles and block the radar. Test it out first! Great ideal on the 3M tape....
