Default Heat reflective glass or not

Hi all I am about to go to France and I am thinking of getting a Liber-T-Tag but I am not sure if it will get the signal out of the glass, My X Type 03 2.5 has heated front screen but not sure if it has heat reflective glass as the signal will not go through if it has.
This is the reply I got from Sanef tolling

The mottled / shaded area behind the rear view mirror will be free of elements and any heat reflective coating. The tag should go in that area so the signal to it is not blocked by the elements in the glass or heat reflective coating on the glass.


As you have no mottled / shaded area behind the rear view mirror you need to ask your vehicle manufacturer if you have a heat reflective screen fitted or not.

If you have no heat reflective screen you can position the Liber-t tag on to clear glass.
Thanks in advance Dell

I have a Liber-T tag on my current XK.

Fixed as instructed by Sanef, it works perfectly. Is was previously fitted in my 2005 XK8 4.2-S Coupe which had a heated windscreen and gave no problems. Saves around 30 minutes on the trip from Eurotunnel to the Spanish border.

On the XF, put mine on the LH side, low enough to be clear of the heating element not sure if the screen was heat refective or not but it worked fine. Its in the same position on the XJ which does have heat reflective glass, will soon see if it works.
