Did you mount it on the windshield like you're supposed to or do you just set it on the dash when you need it?

I spray painted it flat black and mounted it with black Velcro behind the mirror on the windshield. Can't even see it.....

My EZ-Pass is registered for my 3 vehicles, so I have to switch it from vehicle to vehicle as needed. For a mounting system, I use a little suction-cup holder made specifically for EZ Passes that I bought at Pep Boys for around $5. It can be switched from vehicle to vehicle easily, and leaves no marks. Just like Onspeed, I mount it above and to the right of my rearview mirror, out of sight. Works for me.

In NY it's one device per license plate number. Not sure which way I'll go. I like the spray black idea but NYS is such a BIG PITA I'd probably get a ticket or warning or something. May try it anyhow.

hmmm....

Default E Z pass

We get a lot of friends and family who visit and go to Napa via the Golden Gate bridge which uses ezpass going southbound. We give them the unit for the day and we've never had a problem even though the unit's been used by dozens of different cars.

Same here. Mine is a Sunpass with little suction cups, so I can take it off anytime.

Not true. We've got all 3 of our vehicles registered to the same EZpass account.

They took those little plastic boxes away from us and went to a little decal up next to the mirror. There's nothing I can do but stick it on.

So many good ideas. Don't really think I want it on my windshield. I may do the take it out an on the dash when I need it route and see if I get in trouble.
