35% all around, except the windshield. YES Chekov, I live in Southern California, YES Chekov, I go to school in the heart of LA, YES Chekov I know it's illegal, YES Chekov I realize that I can get pulled over, but nor do I care about any of that. Been pulled over for my exhaust (which isn't even that loud), but never for my tint.

All side windows at 35% rear windows at 20% the darkest I'd go with this car. My Fit has 20% all the way around since it feels like the car is all glass.

Ivory Pearl with 35% sides and 20% back. I don't like it it super dark. Lets me see out easy but hard to see in from the outside which I think is perfect.

At first I had 5% rear, 20% front and no windshield in CA. They pulled me over for the front windows. The officer claimed he couldn't see if I was pointing a gun at him or talking on a cell phone. Got a fix-it ticket. I removed the front tint myself and the cop that signed it off never went outside the verify the tint removal. She just took my word. I ended getting the whole car re-tinted with a lighter 20% rear, 80% front and windshield. No problems with CA cops thus far. I can now see more backing out at night.

I know this is a old old thread but was wondering if anyone had inference with nav, am/fm, lock/unlock distance while using tint. there are plenty of articles stating this with use of metallic and some ceramic tints

You’re right. There’s been no posting in this thread for over two years with almost 190 posts. Now, rather than answering your question, all the newbies will chime in with their tint percentages. Why, I’m not sure.

I've seen a few Audi's have issues with the nav when not using ceramic tint. I have regular carbon on mine all around, including the windshield. No interference issues for me.

I have 40% all around and 70% on the windshield,no problem from the cops and no issues whatsoever with visibility at night thru the windshield. I did it for the heat rejection, during the day I can drive directly into the sun without using my sun visor.
