What they sent me had no such instructions.

It turned out it was now about 1/2 the size of the old one so I put it in the front window behind the right side of the rearview mirror. Don't even see it from the drivers seat.

I'm in IL and they said pass side min 1" down from the roof and 1" right of the mirror, from the inside.

Now it's changed to the drivers side of the mirror?

I went through IN with it in top of the dash and their detectors did not pick it up. Turns out I was charged a couple extra bucks because someone had to come over and raise the gate.

IN Toll Road has signs that say to mount to the drivers side of the mirror as well. Apparently their "guns" are on the drivers side at the Toll Booths and IL uses overhead detection.

Hey Blue, I've heard a similar thing, and I have a 'new' white box that is smaller than the original. I'm tempted to try it under the hood. Maybe I can stick the velcro to the back of the mirror? (which is the front of the car...depending on the orientation...uh.)

Mine is just mounted below the rear view mirror. Never gave it much though and I AM ****!

The new small ones are no problem behind the mirror - outta sight. Well except from the passenger seat, but I'm never over there anyhow.

Being the PITA that NYS is, they said that's illegal and can lead to fines. And they take pictures of everyone going through so they've gotcha if they want. I'll stick with it on the window (pun intended)
