Hidden installation of EZ-Pass / Smart-Tag

[pcarague]

I personally think that installing my EZ-Pass/Smart-Tag on the windshield detracts from the beauty of my 987, so I never stuck it. I would just keep it in the glove, and raise it up manually whenever I passed the toll gate. I thought about installing it under the hood, but I've read in other forums that it doesn't work, or that it only works intermitently.

So here's what I discovered. Between the hood and the windshield you can see a strip of black plastic that covers the wiper mechanism. Open your hood. Open the battery cover on top. And with sufficient finger agility, you can actually stick your EZ-Pass/Smart-Tag between the two wipers, underneath the plastic cover (just below the windshield, but above the hood). It's invisible, and it works great too! :clapping:

Great idea. I am going to try this for my I-Pass. What keeps it from moving around and making noise? Thanks.

Stick it up on the plastic, just as you would on your windshield.

Stick it up on the plastic, just as you would on your windshield.

Great suggestion...

Unfortunately here in California it is required that the %^$*!! fastpass be displayed "in plain sight" .. I guess CHiPs can pull you over if they don't see it in the windshield.

One more issue: remote mounting is not advised for the thin, micro-chip style tags. I tried the location below the wiper cover and it did not work. A web search turned up documents that suggest the thin tags need to be directly on the glass which somehow functions as antennae focus. When I mounted the tag on the windshield it did work.

Did you mount it dead center or did you opt for left or right of center? When I looked at mine it does not seem as if you can get it dead center. I have 2008 RS 60 model Boxster S

I tried this last year. It did not work (transpond) for me.
