Default For those of you with tinted windows...
how does the tint affect the self dimming mirrors? I really like the fact that the side mirrors dim on the AR, but seeing as how they are controlled by the center mirror, would tinting the rear window render this useless?

Default Doesn't negatively affect mine.
My theory is that if the backlight and front windows have the same tint, then the effects cancel out. Now if your back window has darker tint, maybe that would change things...
