I’m not sure if they are going to have another promotion as they are increasing their prices effective 15th Oct.

By the way, I only paid Dhs 675 or so for Emcool for all windows, during some sort of promotion. I believe they hold these promotions closer to winter, when demand is less.

the LC in USA and other foreign countries has a DVD based navigation system doesn’t it? for my car they had said 9000 dhs for the navigation system,color lcd and few other things i cant remember now. but i prefered a portable gps coz its much easier to load coordinates etc from my laptop.

man we posted in the same minute .

i checked with the Toyota workshop. The man said that they don’t change anything that in touch with the electricity.
a didn’t understand him, he was talking too fast with you know that English, Indian accent. but i got from him: “your car is not designed to carry the DVD Player, it may cause faults in the car-computer”.

is known that the UV radiation is good for your bone and kills the germs in your car too. it’s not good to keep yourself or your car away from it.
O3 layer works fine here to keep you away from UV radiation danger and gives you its benefits.

not sure of what brands are good but you could check with Gulf Wireless or YellowHat. im sure they will have it and will also install it for you. check with toyota too since you have a LC. but they might charge more.

man, in my case, the portable gps is not the best choice, because my 6 years old niece is too naughty, he will break it in seconds.
do you know what the best builtin system that includes everything, gps and dvd?

There are no issues with signals using Emcool. I didn’t even make that stupid hole for Salik. I just use tape to lightly stick the tag on top of the tint.

nice specifications..better than paying 2800 for crystalline..i got mine from nanolux for 1000 dhs which included sides,rear,windshield and sunroof. 62% heat rejection. although its one of their darker models and obviously clear film on the windshield.
-
not sure if mine is metal based but i’ve never had a problem with cell phone or gps reception in my car.

cb - I’m going for a film with a shade that’s quite light(i hate dark shades + it inhibits visibility at night which is quite dangerous);it provides 60% heat rejection and about 97% or 99% UV rejection. Since it’s a lighter shade,i’m guessing the VLT is about 60%-70% or a little more. The other film with specs higher than what I just mentioned is about AED1500 for the entire car;similar to 3M’s Crystalline series.

Mashfique - I needed to know 1 more thing. Do you experience poor cell phone/radio reception in your Jeep? I’m given to understand Em-cool films are metal based, which inhibit signal reception quite a bit.

do you have the specifications of this em-cool tint?

Thanks for the feedback guys
Mashfique - Em-cool are charging AED650 - AED750 for the sides & rear and an extra AED300 to have the clear film installed at the front. For a package similar to the Nanolux you installed,it’s AED1500.

“UAE law stipulates that any film that allows less than 30 per cent VLT is illegal, and only film with 70 per cent or higher VLT may be used on front windshields”

Just choose the lightest shade for the front windshield. The clear front is included in the price with Emcool. It is impossible for police to detect it on the street, although I haven’t taken my Jeep in for passing yet since Emcool installation. I assume it will pass, since I’ve seen many heavily-tinted cheap cars pass without wastaa.
