Anywhere under the bonnet to hide "Speed Pass"?
I just passed my second week of ownership, LOVING IT!
Anyway, I live in the DC area where a "EZPass" or "Speed Pass" or whatever your area calls it is a must. My issue is it is SO UGLY stuck on my windshield. Wanted to know if there was any room under the cowl, where the wipers are to hide it?
Any other ideas? I have a vert, so I do not have any roof places to stash this ugly thing...
THANKS!!!

Here they've replaced the transponder unit with a sticker that goes on your windshield. SO now we have three windshield stickers, inspection, registration and tolltag. I still have my old tolltags though I'll be mounting mine up somewhere soon. No rush as I don't use the toll roads often here though.

Here they just changed to the sticky windshield label. The directions say to mount high on the windshield center. I mounted it low on the driver's side of the windshield bottom corner and it works great. If you have the box transponder... maybe paint it satin black and mount with black velcro strips at the same place I did mine.

The passenger gave me a great laugh, I hope you take it everywhere!
On a more related/on topic note, I put my E-Z Pass in my glove box and throw it on the dash when I get onto the one and only toll road in New York State. Otherwise I completely forget about it. I don't even have another set of the adhesive pads to mount in my MINI yet and when I get them, I'll probably decide against it. However if I was daily commuting on a toll road I'd just mount it to my sun roof since I never open it or look up there. Great thead btw, I was happy to read what others have done!

Here is the Bay Area, it's called FastTrak and although you are supposed to have the transponder, if you go on their web site you can register your account number with license plates associated with the account. That way you can just drive thru the toll plaza even without the transponder and they'll bill your account when the cam spots your license plate.
So you don't even really need the transponder at all. Maybe your system has the same setup?
...and if the cam isn't working, then bonus, free ride. :D

I've always just stuck mine in my headliner near where my radar is. I've done this for years here in Houston and never had them miss it. Also, whenever I ride my ducati I just stick it in my trunk and it always still catches it (they can't see my license since it is at an angle, so I know the tag is working.)

For the occasional user, keeping in the glove box is fine, but for daily commuters passing through multiple tolls, it get's old getting the thing out, holding it up, putting it away. I had tried painting mine black so it would be more stealthy. In the summer, though, the EZ-Pass got all warped as it got extremely hot in the sun.
Now I just go on the EZ-Pass website and register my license plate with a car that REQUIRES a front tag device. It doesn't really matter what brand of car you register, only the class of car.
The front tag is fugly too, but not as bad as having the thing glued to your windscreen.
