A combination of things, on top of being a little gun-shy since this is the first car I've had tinted. And the car is garaged and I use a sunshade whenever it is parked outside.

One of the big concerns was that the "now I can't see the instruments" feature would activate significantly earlier than it does already - an annoyance I'd eventually like to work out a fix for (in addition to a toggle switch for the passenger seat sensor that would allow me to occasionally change my playlist through the infotainment screen without pulling off the road).

Spot on, with one tiny footnote for this last one - any darkness is allowed on the back windshield if you have dual side mirrors. A given for modern cars, but something that was an issue the first time I was looking into tinting the windows on a seventies car that only had a driver's side mirror.
