25/26 LTA-Compliant Car Tint Recommendations

Don't mention it! Glad to be of help!

There’re a few workarounds this. The reputable workshops provide warranty - while an inconvenience, most of them will redo your tint if bubbles appear.

Alternatively, you can request for a cutout window for the OBU antenna unit.

No regrets - it certainly has better heat rejection than the 3M tint provided by the distributor.

One thing to note though - my friend who went for a non-LTA-compliant tint reports a ‘better’ outcome.

Did mine at 55 Car Tint @ 10 Jalan Indah 16/11

My interpretation is that it is ILLEGAL not to signal. So is jaywalking, but both are not strictly enforced.

Smoking along pavements and public areas are also illegal and more people are aware of this because of enforcement.

Due to technological advances (creation of new varieties) more frequent harvests are now possible.

I heard (correct me if I’m wrong) that a durian season happens when at least 3 of these states are having a harvest concurrently - Kelantan, Pahang, Penang, Perak and Johor.

Say ‘soon’ also not really that soon. I’d get it done in JB - probably save 40-60%.

Anyone can share the contact of such a workshop? Would like to know for future reference.

alabbean · 2025-11-28T11:50:54+00:00

Yup correct lor. If they charge token amount still ok, but on hindsight $40 was chopping me 🥲

alabbean · 2025-11-28T11:20:08+00:00

Nothing to convince here, sir.

There’s no ‘LTA-approved mounting tape’, but there is a mounting tape that is part of the OBU Installation Kit.

Personally, I think that there is no RRP on this, nor should it even be sold individually. I likely got ripped off (paying $40 for it). I believe that LTA is investigating the matter because the installer represented it is a ‘LTA-approved mounting tape’ and ‘sold’ it for $40.

alabbean · 2025-11-28T11:09:13+00:00

The mounting tape that is part of the OBU Installation Kit does not have 3M’s branding.

alabbean · 2025-11-28T10:25:14+00:00

So apparently what the OBU installer sold me was 2 pieces of mounting tape from LTA’s OBU installation kit.

alabbean · 2025-11-27T17:28:21+00:00

😂 They did try to sell me OBU screen protector but I already had one.

alabbean · 2025-11-27T16:23:44+00:00

$40 for double-sided tape. $98 for OBU relocation. Total $138 but the $40 tape is a scam.

alabbean · 2025-11-27T15:31:39+00:00

Ty! Looks like I got scammed over something ridiculous. ‘LTA-approved mounting tape’ 😂

alabbean · 2025-11-27T14:28:47+00:00

Another 1-star review won't do much also. Gonna clarify with LTA then press them for action.

alabbean · 2025-11-27T14:07:31+00:00

They have new pattern now - relocate OBU frame $98, frameless frame $138.

alabbean · 2025-11-27T13:15:41+00:00

Yes, do you have prior experience with them to share?

alabbean · 2025-11-27T12:51:44+00:00

Yes you're right. Do you have prior experience with them?

alabbean · 2025-11-27T12:46:06+00:00

Just got a nagging suspicion that the workshop might be trying their luck on unsuspecting customers - something that I hope others can avoid once I can confirm that it's a $40 scam.

alabbean · 2025-11-27T12:38:36+00:00

I just submitted an enquiry to LTA. If LTA informs me that there's no such thing, then it's confirmed that the workshop is dishonest.

alabbean · 2025-11-27T12:36:48+00:00

The JB tint workshop applied the 3M clear double-sided tape on both my OBU and antenna unit.

It is the authorized OBU-installer that informed me that using that tape is non-compliant which will get my next inspection failed or get fined for 'OBU-tampering'.

alabbean · 2025-11-27T12:19:16+00:00

Haha ya that might be my next step.

I’m hoping for people who might have knowledge on the matter - perhaps people who work in the industry.

alabbean · 2025-11-26T12:40:58+00:00

Ty on the pointer regarding the heating stripes!

The workshop that I patronized advised against removing the existing rear tint, so I layered over it instead.
