Windshield Tint and Heads Up Display

Been contemplating tinting my front windshield but was curious if anyone has had issues with it obscuring their dash cam, radar detector and/or heads up display?

One additional tidbit of information. Before I got my windshield tinted, the HUD was hard to see with polarized sunglasses on. Tinting the windshield made it more visible with them on. That was a nice surprise.

There is a "tilt" option in the hud settings to accommodate for polarized sunglasses. Seems stupid to have to change it each time you put in glasses though, this is good to jnow
