I-PASS mounting on the Z

[Mr.Yuck]

Where to mount a I-PASS? Radar cut out in the windshield? Back window? What works?

Do they still offer the front plate mount?

if not the cut out will be the spot. I have a regular C4 windshield so mine is in the normal spot by the mirror

On my trip to Carlisle and back, I had forgotten my I-pass transponder was in the console - and proceeded to pay cash for the first 4 or 5 toll booths encountered. But, as I drove up to the pay window of the 6th toll boot, the "THANK YOU" light came on and the toll gate lifted before I came to a stop at the booth.

That's when I realized the transponder was in the console storage. Well, I didn't bother to stop at any more toll windows for the rest of the trip (thank goodness!!). And, when I went on-line to check my I-PASS account, sure enough I'd been debited for each all of the toll stops that I also paid cash at!

I DO have a standard windshield too. But, I wonder if that even matters, far as the I-PASS transponder goes!?

What roof is on the car? Painted vs Acrylic might be a potential difference in performance

Painted top (on my RED Z).

I am quite sure the I-PASS is RFID, so going through fiberglass or Acrylic is easy. going through Steel not so much

this is why they say keep on the windshield, that said, with the Solar Windshield in the Z, it would be a good test, which I would suggest is done at a manual booth (for the first try) and see if it works from the console

IIRC, the console lid is at least partly made of steel.

Whatever. But, I agree...ploping it in the console and driving up to a toll booth DOES work w/ a std W/S. Just have to see if it works with ZR-1 W/S.

Hummmm.....

Just the hinge is steel, lid is plastic

Or you can hold it out the window as you pass by the I Pass sensors!

I’m using the radar cutout for mine that works, but I have not tried any other location.
