Auto dimming rear view mirror and dark tinting ?
« on: 13 March 2012, 15:57:47 »
I have heard that if you have dark tinted windows automatic dimmig mirror won't work anymore.
Is that true and if it is , how dark tinting can be when dimmimg still works ?
Is there any way to fool the mirror to dim or make manual dimming switch ?

If the rear window is tinted enough to affect the mirror, you probably won't need autodimming?

That's what I was thinking.

Any level of tint will reduce the functionality of the mirror's tinting
