Best 3M tint series (ranking)

[joms]

I just like to double check na yung 3M CS series does not affect cellphone signal / GPS signal / pocket wifi signal / RFID and Epass?

I was originally looking at VKOOL due to its excellent hear rejection pero hihina daw yung GPS/cell/etc signals.

Thanks

Yup I have 3M CS right now on my windshield, no effect on GPS, RFID, or mobile data.

I also have Vkool OEM in my other car, also no effect on GPS, RFID, or mobile data.

The only Vkool tint that affects RFID and to a certain extent GPS is their VK-series.

Did I get this right:

1) VKOOL OEM has better heat rejection than 3M CS right? By how much?

2) 3M CS looks better then VKOOL OEM if you want the color to look more black right?

3) 3M CS is more black from the outside such that you can't see the people inside the car compared to VKOOL OEM right?

Would you have a pic of VKOOL OEM and 3M CS side by side? I'd sure like to see the color shade of each beside each other.

Hi guys noob question. I had 3m BC20 installed on all windows and front and back as well. Ngayon hirap na si waze kumuha ng GPS and also my navi on my HU. Any suggestions on how to address this? Planning to change the one on windshield lang, ma address na kaya nito yung signal problem? Any suggestions on what tint to put on my windshield? Yung best compromise na sana ng visibility sa gabi na medyo di kita yung mga tao sa loob haha.

3M BC is metallic. CS, CR, and FX are not kaya hindi apektado GPS and signal reception

walang compromise between visibility from inside na hindi ka makikita outside

Alright thanks chief. Will check what fits my preference na lang. Medyo dependent kasi ako sa navigation lalo na pag long distance travel.
So changing my windshield tint will solve the signal problem or do I have to change the windows as well?

hmmn not sure. have the CS35 and CS20 mix on different window panels and wala siyang problema sa navigation, cant say kung sa windshield lang mapapalitan mo eh it would fix your issue

Sayang eh I really like the look of the BC20 and it has decent visibility from the inside. Ang hassle lang na may signal interference pala siya. Will try the windshield first, hopefully it addresses the problem. Thanks a lot for the insights chief.

So I went ahead and changed the windshield tint from BC20 to CS20 and the GPS signal issue is fixed. Also noticed that visibility at night is slightly better with the CS20 but that could just be my eyes deceiving me lol. Just an FYI to anyone who might also be interested between the 2 types of 3m tint.

We have 2 cars... one with BC and the other with CS.... I get faster and better signal with the CS especially when using navigation apps like Waze.

Hi I want to tint my sedan with the cs series. Thinking of cs 5 all around and cs 35 sa windshield.

Gusto ko kasi hindi ako makita masyado, nuong una gusto ko sa cs 5 and 20 sa windshield kaso baka sumakit mata ko sa gabi.

Meron ba sa inyo na naka 5 sa lahat and 35 sa harap? patingin naman.

5 is too dark for the sides..

I dont notice any difference and i drive on dark provincial roads. I have 20 on the sides on one car and 5 on the other. I like 5 more. Better privacy and aesthetics.

On my other car from what i remember is a super black and medium in front. No problems still. Just want to try the lighter one this time for easier driving. Just want to see how it looks like from the outside.

Mga bros meron ba CS na 10vlt?
Sira kasi passenger side ko e, parang naspray ng chemical or something. Thanks!
Btw may shop kayo alam na pwedeng passenger and driver side lang ang lalagyan?

Hi guys, do you know any reliable 3M tint installers in the Q.C. or San Juan areas? Willing to go to Makati/BGC if the service is really good.

Baggy of Roadstar Makati did the 3M Crystalline on my CR-V. He's a bit old though, might've retired already. Best call to ask if he still does tints.

Not all shops have 3M crystalline. Buti sila meron pa.

Weird lang. From the casa, I had our vehicle tinted cs5 sides and rear and cs 35 sa front windshield (supposedly). But looking at it from afar, it seems na very light shade ung nilagay ng casa. I compared my tint to some samples from Team Car banawe. And it seems may difference nga ung shade nung tint although very minute lang.

Sabi nung owner I can just have another layer put on top of it, instead of scraping it off. Baka magasgas lang ung glass.
