To answer your question: Yes, I do have ComfAcc. No, the tint does not affect how it operates.
I wondered the exact same thing, but there were enough posts about it (mostly on the E9x and E8x) to make me second guess my options (examples).

3M Color Stable or Crystalline are just fine. Will not affect CA or any other systems in car. I have Color Stable for months and all is great.
To be fair, I was aware of the effects that the metallic tint would have (and he reminded me as well before installing them). It was the first car I'd ever had tinted, and I was concerned about dyed films fading, so I just went with the installer that the local dealership used. That being said, I just found a shop about an hour away that appears to have really great ratings and does both 3M and Huper Optik; I'll probably check them out instead.

Back to the original thread though, pics look great!
