I think ceramic tint is mainly for those who have comfort access...
Going later today to tint 30% all around wither either Huper Optik or 3m crystalline. Guessing it'll set me back $400-600. Not sure if its worth it but if I use cheaper grade tint and my car can't even start because of comfort access interference then.. gg. |

no.. cell phone is not effected by the material of your tint. at least none of the modern smartphones.
And honestly, my friend have non-ceramic tint and his comfort access still works just fine. I've used cheap tint in my previous e92 and my cellphone worked just fine with good signals... |

Ceramic tint has been proven to dramatically reduce heat. You can find some youtube videos showing this. I had it on my front windshield. The tint is almost invisible, which would do nothing for you if it was dye based, but the ceramic REALLY reduced direct heat transmission. I had to replace my windshield a month ago and I feel like my face is being fried now when I'm driving and the sun is out.
Ceramic is worth it if you want to go higher percentage tint. For people like above who said they don't like tints, do something like AirBlue all around (including windshield) which does not darken (has a slight blue hue) and it will significantly cut heat in the car. |

Can anyone with comfort access and metallic tint chime in on whether or not you've experience any issues?

Its just a risk you'll have to take. I know people who has comfort access and metallic tint that don't have problems but there are people who claim they can't even start the engine. I personally opted for ceramic, for only $200 more.. I can get peace of mind and better heat reduction. Keep in mind there are so many different brand of metallic tint, that might affect the results as well.
