On the dash (near the heads up display) works fine. Switch mine between cars all the time.

Don't try that in NY, you'll see red lights behind.

I'm told that in NY and New England the reader automatically counts axles and charges the correct amount. I'm towing to NJ next weekend and just got an EZ pass, wondering if anyone knows how that works in Pa and NJ?

I do the same thing with EZpass, use same device in multiple cars
If you have multiple vehicles this is the easiest thing to do. It's not like you need to do it frequently.

How many times a day do you go through a toll booth/plaza?

Do you also switch vehicles daily?

In Texas every new road seems to be a toll road so it happens very frequently here. We also can't move them from vehicle to vehicle as they are tied in with your license plate. We have one for each of our vehicles and either wedge them behind the mirror or hold them up to the windshield as we pass through the toll.

In the winter I would always take the truck, summers the vette mostly, have no idea how many times I will make the trip from Mi. to PA . But just one to me is worth it because for the most part you don't have to stop,or some you just slow to 55 !!!!!
