Hey all,
Looking to get the A129 Plus Duo, but my windshield has 80% Suntek Ceramic Tint, so I am not sure if a CPL filter is going to reduce the image quality. What do you guys think?
Notes taken, ordered the A129 Plus Duo without the CPL filters. Hopefully the glare problem won't be too bad.
you'll get a rainbow effect, won't look great behind the tint if you use a CPL
for it to work it needs to be aligned correctly, this will give rainbow effect if used behind tint, perhaps it wouldn't have that effect if it wasn't aligned correctly, but it also wouldn't work anyway if that was the caseEven it was aligned?
Depends on what sort of tint, the ceramic tints seem particularly bad, windcreen glass manufactured as tinted glass never has any issues.short answer, working CPL and tint and you'll get rainbows
Need to learn to use portrait mode!When i wear my polarized sunglasses i can not watch my phone display, at least not without tilting my head 90 degrees,
Factory tint isn't a film, doesn't have the same effect, to clarify, CPL and aftermarket tint and you'll get rainbows [emoji304]
DIY which do also work fine, but i do use both.
don't have those here unfortunately, wish we did, a lot of the dashmats that we do have here are made of an acrylic carpet that has shiny fibers and it actually reflects really badly, worse than the dashboard in some cases, here they were only ever about protecting the dashboard from cracking from the sunThe flat black suede type is the one you want.
Yes, I recall we discussed that before quite some time ago. I would have thought by now someone in your neck of the woods might have started to offer something more appealing to dash cam users. In a pinch it would be possible to paint the shiny ones with flat black camo paint sort of like what I did with the suede one. It's been five years now and the thing still looks perfect!don't have those here unfortunately, wish we did, a lot of the dashmats that we do have here are made of an acrylic carpet that has shiny fibers and it actually reflects really badly, worse than the dashboard in some cases, here they were only ever about protecting the dashboard from cracking from the sun
dashmats aren't a big market here so it's generally just the cheap brands that cater to this market, no premium options sadlyYes, I recall we discussed that before quite some time ago.

FWIW, the OP is American so what I recommended is available to him. ( or anyone else with a left hand drive vehicle)
