If you have premium package, the tints may affect your auto dimming rear view mirrors.

Unless I read your post wrong.
I don't see how thats possible since the other cars headlights are shining from behind which triggers the dimming. On your rear view mirror if you look right in the bottom middle of it there is a round sensor there
which I think triggers the dimming of all your mirrors.

Tint it.... Mine is 35% and my car is black/black. I actually want it darker though.

I did 5% in the rears and 35% fronts (looks almost factory, so I haven't been stopped yet (knocking on wood). Definitely tint your windows, especially if you live in CA, too damn hot to go with not tint.
