    Whats a crock...ive used metallic Tint for years and years and I aint ever had 1 problem with any of my sat nav, gps, detectors and every other damn peice of audio/video equipment ive had in my car.

    I even had a tv in my car with the antennas on the inside of the rear window with metallic tints and never ever had a problem with reception..

    So you can blow that theory out of the window! Its proof from personal experiance.

    I have metallic tint(i believe) ANd I have no problem with my Navi on my winshield and the rear antenn on the V1 is hardly effected.

    Unless you have a V1 or are tinting the windshield(illegal mostly everywhere) I would not care if the tine is metallic

    Regardless, if your tint is metallic or ceramic, your car electronics are eletrically grounded. The sole pupose of ceramic tint is for heat diffusion. Don't buy anything (comercial) made of titanium. Titanium is the buzz word of the day.
    The uses for Ti are its strength to weight ratio and low corrosion. And yes Titanium corrodes. Ceramic on the other hand has no corrosion value, but has less flex. It has great heat dispursion, and high rigidity. All of this is great for aircraft manufacturing, and of little importance to window tint.
    In addition, any tint applied to a glass surface will disperse and defract a light source. What this means is that when a laser is fired at your car, the tinted surfaces will defract the beam, thereby slowing the reaction time of your detector.
    So, mount your R/L detector below your tinted windshield visor.

    P.S. Go with a bronze tint. Color also plays a factor.
