Window Tint and Comfort Access

Has anyone out there had issues with window tint affecting the effectiveness of Comfort Access? I'm trying to pick a tint and don't want to screw up communications between the fob and the car. Right now I'm leaning towards Huper Ceramic but I'd rather not make an expensive mistake.

Thanks!

ceramic tint will not effect any communication systems. it's the metallic tint that you want to avoid.

My MINI came with the windows already tinted and they don't hamper my comfort access at all.

No problem. Llumar or SunTek film I believe.

There are some reports (mainly on Bimmer forums) about even ceramic films messing with CA. :( I wouldn't be surprised if those reports had some confusion about the ceramic nature of the tint but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.
