Well, most cars nowadays have factory tints. There is a website that lists how much these tints in addition to the glass screw up a detector's sensitivity...on most Hondas it's around 30% for the front windshield.

BigB, don't worry too much about radar from the back. I've never had a cop come up behind me with his radar on...I only like a detector with good rear detecting abilities because I know when the threat passes and if the cop is pulling a U-Turn. You'll still pick up radar from the rear, but not as much. The V1 has a money back guarentee, so if the range sucks from the back you can just return it :dunno:
