OK, I'll have to ask.

Does EZPass register the plate if you only have a rear plate?

Good question, but if you have no front plate, and the front is what they're photoing, what's it matter?

don't use paint just put a sheet of black paper or some vinyl on it or black painters tape. If you damage the transponder (do they consider painting it damage?) they can charge you for the transponder when/if you return it.

I learned that years ago, when I sold a vehicle to my brother in NJ, left my MD plates on it for him to get home, and he used his EZPass on the NJ Turnpike, without telling me.
Thats not true in PA I have used my ezpass issued by the PA Turnpike in other cars all the time...even in rentals works fine no issues

Have a 17 GS Vert, works great stuck to the inside top of the trunk lid.

Alrighty then, it works in PA, good to know, but not elsewhere. I do know having received a fine.

I'm in good ol' IL. On the I-pass website, you can enter your license plate number and it will suffice. I do this with more than one car. I never carry my I-pass.

We're talking two different things here. Yes, if your plate is registered to an active account and transponder, you can get away without having the transponder read or in the car, and that always works everywhere as far as I know.

The other active topic is can you use your transponder in another car (e.g. rental car) without the plate registered to that transponder? Someone above said it's OK in PA, but it's sure as hell not OK in other places.

yes, and I said I have a license plate bolt on device, which only comes in black, hence, I haven't had a white ezpass device in years. Don't care what other people do.

What I said back then:

" Same here. I haven't had a white ezpass tag in years. you can call ezpass and ask for the license plate mount"

I guess you could "paint" it with plasti-dip, assuming that plast-dip comes off?

Went to the dollar store, got some flat black spray paint and sprayed the NY ezpass for my C7 and my daily driver. Works great and is almost invisible,,so much so that my wife asked me to do her pass.
I also updated to the newer smaller size before doing the paint job,,,,Mounted mine to the right of rear view mirror (passenger side) and I can barely see it while driving.

you missed the point. My Ipass can be picked up by the sensors while still behind the screen.

I put mine on the back hatch window, top left corner. Not visible because on the darker factory tint in that location and it works fine.
