Florida SUNPASS work on HUD windshield?
Title says it all. I installed the SunPass ministicker on my (HUD) windshield (which I believe is different than regular windshield). Also - installed it in the upper tinted area. Just want to know if it will work before I go through an automated toll lane.

Funny I got a violation notice saturday for a .75 toll back in october. The letter says check my battery, mounting location. It's their fault not mine. This weekend I was up and down the turnpike and the beachline and it beeped each time. They want me to call with all my info and that pisses me off wasting my time.
Anyway mine is mounted above the mirror in the tinted area, I know, not the recommended spot, has been for a year with just one missed toll.

Yes there is. Its a different part # and the HUD screen is marked HUD somewhere at the base. Not absolutely certain but I think the HUD screen is a different laminate and the reflectivity is different. Maybe someone smarter can add to that.

The HUD windshield is different. It does say HUD at the base (under the cowl).
And as DeeGee said before the Sunpass is a totally different technology than HUD and the two don't have any affect on each other.
My sunpass lays on the dash when I use it. No problems at all.
