Navigation and Instrument Cluster DIM after tinting windows
I have an F80 M3 2016, I tinted the windows with 3M Crystalline 70 all around, now when im in the car the dashboard is dim and also the navigation, unless is completely sunny or I flash a light into the dashboard then the dashboard and navigation will brighten again.
I took it to the dealer and they told me that is something that happens when you tint the windows and that there is nothing they can do!?!? Has anybody else seen this problem? Is there a way to code it? Any help would be appreciated |

I noticed this problem after tinting my windows 40%. You can increase the display brightness but I found that doing so made it too bright at night. After fiddling with the brightness settings for a while I left it at default and learned to live with it.
It doesn't happen all the time, just under certain light conditions (which I have yet to figure out) |

I found that it works for both day and night, but it doesn't change the instrument cluster brightness. |

That seems like a reason for the display to get brighter rather than dim but ok. Glad I haven't run into this issue with tint / CF roof.
