The Air Resources Board’s report evaluating the electromagnetic
interference due to automotive reflective glazing as required
under the Cool Cars regulation is now available. The report
provides the findings of a test program to determine the impact
reflective glazing has on certain portable devices such as cell
phones, global positioning systems (GPS) and ankle monitoring
bracelets. The results indicate that there are no effects from
reflective glazing, and thus the Cool Cars regulation, on
monitoring ankle bracelets or cell phone usage in an urban
environment.  Effects on GPS navigation units were observed, but
these were completely eliminated by placing the device or an
external antenna within a ‘deletion window’, that is, a
relatively small section of the windshield manufactured without
the reflective material. The complete report is located on the
Cool Cars website at
