As these probably have metal particles embedded in the windscreen (?) there might be be problems with Satnav reception.

I have a peugeot 306 will aircon and my sat nav works okay

I have the Transit Connect van with a heated screen and my 2 year old Tom Tom "One" (the cheapest one they do) works fine. It struggled in my Kangoo, which had the "solar reflective" windscreen, but was OK after the windscreen got smashed and replaced with an ordinary one.
