Same problem here...

I'm thinking of attaching it to the "up" side of the sun visor so I don't see it...

I bought a piece of that "no slide" rubber that they use for fender covers ("tools won't fall off!"), attached both pieces of the "J-hook" material to it and the "E-Z Pass" unit and keep it in my ever-so-valuable console.
When I approach the booth, I just place the piece on the dash, smile, and keep on going!
Works for me - and I CAN take it to the other cars!

I have one. Just dont attach it to anything. I keep it in the glove compartment and then just hold it up to the windshield when passing through the toll booth. Works just fine although it is probably not legal.

I have the holder that you put the EZ Pass in and attaches to the windshield with suction cups....the only option for Vettes IMHO..

This works. I've set off the system with the EZ Pass in my console.

You can also get the one that screws to the front plate.

I recently went through the Sunpass booth on the Florida Turnpike by accident. I thought I was going to get a letter with a picture of my tag and an invoice for $100.00. It never came. Maybe I got lucky.

First of all, where fo you get one. Scramble plate meaning your speen is not detected, therefore you don't get a ticket if you are speeding through the lane?? If so, I'm interested...

Its not an actual cover although they make them but were supposedly fake and didn't work..I DO NOT CONDOLE DOING THIS as I don't do it but if something happens and you do, your covered http://www.invisiblelicenseplate.com/ I went through one of those things that reads your speed but this 1 had a camera in use.. my radar wasn't on (DOH) But I had this on.. i never got a ticket.. another time.. went thru ezpass cause i was stuck and had no other choice.. never got a letter or anything.. and last but not least i dropped a dime so i only put 25 cents in the machine.. never got a ticket or warning.. I did honk my horn but i doubt thats what saved me.

I used the 2 velcro strips that came with the pass. I put them behind the rear view mirror, you can hardly see them.
I've tried the suction cup holder, but it was a PITA.

As the Sunpass Technician tested it with me, I just put it on the inside of the windshield, far upper right hand side, behind the tint (and out of the way of the embedded radio antenna wire). Mounted with the velcro strips that came with it. Its practically invisible from the outside, and works perfectly (in Florida).

I'm like everyone else, just hold on the dash as you go thru. Works in Texas. Now they can give you a ticket for not having it properly mounted.

Velcro behind and above the the rear view, aligned with the tinted edge, and cannot bee seen from the outside (well just barely). Works every time.
