Default Window tint and heads up display

I would like to get the windows on my A6 tinted but I don't know which type is the best or if it will work with my heads up display. Anyone have any suggestions?

Like..you want to get your windshield tinted as well? A quick search showed that BMW's claim in their manual tinting the windshield will interfere with the HUD however, numerous people say it does not. Great thing about tint? It comes off.

You could always just test a small piece in the HUD area before you fully commit.

Agreed

I have my windshield tinted with 3M Crystaline. So glad I did it

I'll see if I can post some day time pics for you

Thanks, how dark did you go? Do the police bother you?

Product: 3M Crystalline

Front & Sunroof: 70
Front Driver & Passenger: 40
Rear passanger & Rear Window: Double Layered 40

Note: I had mine done in 2016, when 40 was the darkest Crystalline went, since then 3M has released a darker 20. Had this been available, I might have replaced the 40s listed above with the 20 (I like the tint darker)

So far haven't been bothered by anyone about it, you can't even tell unless someone points it out. Also, I have no issues with my Heads Up Display.

The only issue I have ever had with the HUD is with Polarized Sunglasses

Very nice. Can you tell me about your vag mods. The Amber delete and the Adaptive brake lights?
