    That's a new one on me, I was unaware that tint would reduce radio reception.

    BTW, welcome to ChallengerForum!

    Depends on the tint. If it is a dark tint with a high metal content, then the dealer is right.
    It also will cut down on Cell phone signal, and decrease radar detector effectiveness.
