Hiding Your FasTrak, EZ-Pass, or Other Toll Tag in Your Car

Step 5Placing the Tag (if you do not have a prelude)

Placing the Tag (if you do not have a prelude)

Next step, place the tag.
If you do not have a prelude, take in to account the physics above.
The best place that I found was below the dash, above the speedometer. This location was easy to get to, it was in direct view of the radio transmitter/receiver, was only covered by the plastic dashboard, and was directly in front of the driver, so the should would still be audible.
Some other possible locations are:
  • In the A-pillar (the molding that connects the dash to the roof), I ruled this out because my A-pillar was too small, and too hard to remove. If you have side curtain air bags, you should rule this out too, unless you want your tag imprinted in your face when you crash.
  • In the sliding cover for the moon roof. This are is great! Right next to a window, and very clever. I have read that several Mini Cooper owners have done this. It might be a bit tricky to get to, and depending on how you do it, may still be visible from the top.
  • Glove box. Probably metal interference, but try it.
  • Inside the rear view mirror (probably too large to fit)
  • Under your rear deck (the flat part behind the rear speakers in non hatch-back cars. This is good, except you'll need to test to make sure the signal is read through the back window.
  • Inside your side mirrors, outside the car. Great idea, but you might not hear it
  • Inside a speaker cover on the dash
  • In a vent on the dash
  • In the fold down sun visors (fold down when you drive through)
