So I remember reading/being told about auto-dimming tints that can be put on the prius when you buy it as an option. What's the deal, I went back to toyota and couldn't find it. Was I imagining this? Where does it say anything about their tints? Also what are self-dimming tints, or whatever I thought I read. Is this something I can't get without Toyota? With the lack of searchable sources I had to finally break down and post here. I even used the search feature on toyota.com and clicked every single link that came out. Anyone help? As far as I know abotu tints is that it's a film over the glass to block UV rays and heat and such, and the % nubmer is how much light comes in. I know my state laws on tints and such as well.

you might be thinking about the auto-dimming mirror. they do tint at port and also at the dealership. most dealerships outsource to a local tint shop- we actually had ours done by the guy who does the dealership's tint.

I am currently reading the myths thread and read taht you were a certified professional. So tints from toyota (port or dealer); diffrent at all in any way from tints I can get basically, anywhere else? I was honestly convinced there were 'special' tints that lightened at night or some such from toyota, or somewhere.
