Default Tint and radio antenna

I need to tint my 2005 C230. Does anyone know where the radio antenna is on this car? Is it the lines I see on the rear window? Or is the black antenna I see outside on the top middle part of the car? I am asking because someone recommended that I installed ceramic tint, as opposed to metalic tint, so that it would not interfere with the radio. Can someone please help?

Ah, ha. So metalized window tints do adversely affect radio reception. I talked to a tint installer- a good tech, who did my other car and says he's done hundreds or W202s-and he didn't acknowledege there was an affect to reception? Perhaps folks are mostly playing CDs or listening to satallite radio?

somehow metalized tint can really somehow reduce radio reception.
