Unfortunately at the moment I happen to be in hellhole known as Kansas and here the summer temp is pretty much same as yours, from 90 to 105F.
I don't have mirror experience and ours was darkest 5% film that made the roof bearable and gave good lesson that the car without panorama is the one we needed (and got earlier this year)

That's what we plan on doing to the wife's Q5, but she drives it from the garage at home to her parking garage at work and back, so it's rarely SITTING in the sun... except when driving... so not a rush job since I got the new truck and she wants to go in it all the time

Tinted sunroof
Mine is also tinted with 15% ceramic with written lifetime warranty. After 2 years - no problem, me too, knock on wood. It does make a difference and it looks nice!

I would also recommend California when they decide to drop the high taxes.

I wanted to tint our roof as well at the window tinting place (Tint World) and they told me that if I tinted the sun/moon roof that is has a tenancy to crack. This post also talks about the dangers of tinting. Believe me, I hate having this large moon roof because it turns the entire vehicle into a green house.
I've read that the tint absorbs heat and that causes the glass to fracture. I've never heard much about mirror tinting. I would think the mirror tinting would make a great idea. I put mirror tints on a house I once lived in and our electric bill dropped by about 30%, so I know mirror tint can make a huge difference.
