Does ceramic coating interfere with a car's electronics as a ceramic window tint does?

[aim4squirrels]

Mirrored tint may interfere with Radar Detectors, GPS, cell reception, but only if it's the older heavy metallic kind.

Tesla's windshield coating is metallic and does cause radar detector interference. On newer Teslas there is a cutout on the windshield behind the passenger side of the rearview mirror where they recommend mounting things that need clear signal reception: radar detectors, GPS devices, patch anntenae, etc.

Ceramic coatings do not incorporate metals to my knowledge. Most are SiC or SiO2 compound derivatives.

It was my understanding that ceramic tint's earlier marketing strategy was that it did not interfere in the way metallic tint did, not the reverse.

No metal content in Gloss-Coat® or Opti-Coat®.

This was my bad. When I thought of this i forgot that the reason some ceramic tints had metal in it was supposedly they were manufactured on the same machines as the metal tints were. Sorry to cause any alarm or confusion.
