I would like to have my windows tinted but how would that effect the rear view camera? Looking for some feedback from those who have tinted windows and rear view camera. I would imagine that at night it might be hopeless. I was even thinking if a small cutout can be made in the tint just under the tail break light which might be quite discreet.
Rear view camera with tinted window?

I have OEM tints on my 7, and have a rear dashcam fitted.
It’s not an issue, and you can see clearly any recorded daytime video. Nighttime is a little darker (obviously!) but cars following with headlights make it easy to see what’s happening.
Here is a picture taken today from my rear cam, through an OEM tint.

Cant believe how dark factory tints are on the outside compared to the inside. I usually chuck my jacket on the back seat and often open the wrong door to get it out, as I cant see what side it's nearest

Very true, I do the same!
For the benefit of the OP, here is a pic of my OEM factory tints, the rear view camera sees through this with no problem.
I believe the OEM tint is 30/35% light transmission - can’t remember exactly, so don’t quote me!
LOL, you daft..it's not called privacy glass for nothing ;-)Cant believe how dark factory tints are on the outside compared to the inside. I usually chuck my jacket on the back seat and often open the wrong door to get it out, as I cant see what side it's nearest
