do you have the digital cockpit? If so, did it dim because of the tint?

There is a thread on here about this topic, search for it and check it out. My summary of it would be that tinting at 35% or less carries a significant risk of your digital dash dimming.....

I can't make my own stand alone post since this is a new account.

Has anybody installed a dash cam? When I hardwired mine in my Q50 Red Sport, I tapped into the back of the pins of rear view mirror. Not sure if same method could be used on these cars.

Can confirm, yes my display is dimming, going to contact my SA on Monday, hopefully there is a way to code it out.. because they also offer in house tinting so I can't imagine people being happy with there display dimming... I'll update ASAP

I wrapped the roof trim in gloss black vinyl to match my previously wrapped roof. I will do the mirror caps next. Waiting on my matte black spoiler to arrive. Will paint it gloss black.
