Will window tint affect my radar detect?

Any tint will reduce laser range since it is light-based. Whether or not it affects radar depends on if the tint is metallic or not, so you should ask whoever you plan to have do the tinting what type of tint they use and if it has metallic content.

Yah, that's what I was saying. It will reduce sensitivity to X, K, and Ka bands. Lidar (laser) is simply an infrared signal, which is an electromagnetic signal just like other radar types, but at different frequencies. All of these will be affected by obstructions such as window tinting, fog, rain, rear view mirrors, etc.
