Does window tinting affect the brightness of the instrument cluster and infotainment display?
The dimming display in the X5/X7/X6 was a feature of the (poor) location of the display sensors - and was impacted by tinting (intensity automatically lowered at "night"). I've noticed none of that in the iX (and I suspect there are more sensors - and more integrated sensors in the iX).
Is it possible to receive and send text messages in the car without Apple Carplay?
You should be able to go into the infotainment and see if Office functionality is on. Ceramic tint does not interfere with cell communication.
What is the legal level of tint allowed?
It depends on your state, but most states allow 35% VLT on the front windows, 20% on the rear passenger - which is BMW's factory tint. No limit on the hatch or sunroof. Three states allow 70% or more VLT (North Dakota is one), but most restrict tinting to above the "AS1 line" - about 5 or 6 inches down, parallel to the top of the windshield. It's also easier to notice than a too-dark side window, so depends on how much your local constabulary - or you - care.
Has anyone tinted their front windshield?
I don't know of anyone fully tinting their front windshield, but I do know a full tint is illegal in most states. However, some people have applied a "sun strip" to the top of their windshields. This is a thin strip of tint that helps reduce glare and heat from the sun without obstructing visibility.
Is it possible to tint the windows with ceramic film?
Yes, you can use ceramic film for window tinting. Ceramic films are non-metallic and provide superior heat rejection compared to traditional dyed films. They also block UV rays and reduce glare, making them ideal for those who want maximum protection from the sun's harmful rays.
Does window tinting affect cell phone reception?
No, window tinting does not affect cell phone reception. In fact, many people choose to tint their windows in order to reduce the amount of radiation coming into the car from cell phones and other electronic devices. The ceramic film used for window tinting actually blocks up to 99% of all UV rays, so it won't interfere with your phone's signal.
