Eucalyptus wood dash seems to have faded

Osmo UV - Protection Oil

Old thread, I know.
I was thinking of putting a cell phone mount on the dash, but then thought about the possible uneven fading this may cause.
Curious if anyone has tried to re-stain the wood dash. I prefer a darker wood stain to better go with the dark Tera interior.

They now offer a dark wood trim...if darker is really your desire, you could probably swap it. Hard to say how well the existing wood trim would respond to stains. FWIW, this wood, and some notable others like cherry, can significantly change color through UV exposure. BMW acknowledges this and if I remember, mentions it in the owner's manual. I do believe that mine is lighter now than when I bought it. Leaving something in that well could leave a pattern, if it is there for any period of time, because it will likely block the UV's bleaching action. Cherry darkens with UV exposure, not bleaches out, but that's not an issue with our cars.
