Default EZPass

Where did you guys mount your EZpass and does it interfere with the automatic wipers? I was told not to put it next to the black box behind the rearview mirror.

Thanks,
Tom

Before you mount it drive through a toll to make sure the toll can read it with the size of windshields you can pretty much mount in in the bottom center and it works fine and does not block your view, buy one of those rubber sticky pads and leave it on the dash, thats what my old man does

I mount it directly centered and below the rear view. The only thing it might obstruct is the auto dimming function? Otherwise I don't think it does anything bad. I haven't noticed anything acting differently.

Behind the mirror, over to the right. It blocks the sun too, but there's the little sun flip that does the job too. You can mount it anywhere, won't interfere with anything. Where I put it, I don't see it, so it's not bothering me.

Here in South Africa they are busy implementing those chips in license plates (they will do anything to take peoples money easily )

It's called "smart tag"...I'm not sure how it works when there is no power or anything?!

the cars with them built into the plates are usually, at least to my knowledge, due to special coatings, ala mercedes, that can casue issues with the ez pass.

Gotcha - Thx !

My better half keeps her FastTrack in the far lower left of her '06 windshield but realize that would probably be impracticle on a NY/NJ car with the inspection stickers already there.
