407 ETR Transponders

[oakvillemike]

I used the transponder in my Model 3 on the way home from pickup and it worked normally (4 beeps at the exit.) I held it in my hand near the windshield for that one trip. So not metalized. Anybody have any suggestions where to affix it so it doesn't interfere with anything?

Manual says you can mount transponders beside the rear view mirror camera block on the right side, or on the front license plate for weatherproof transponders.

I'm thinking of sticking it on the back of the monitor. Completely unobtrusive. Going to get a dash cam first, and make sure that still works.

That's a good idea - let us know if that works out.

Just call 407Etr and have the rep to flag your license plate so you wouldn’t be charged on video charges anymore. I had my transponder mounted on the recommended location and it won’t received the signal properly sometime no matter how slow I drive across the scanners.

That's odd. I've had my M3 for a few days now and on every 407 trip I've heard the four beeps. Mounted on the windshield next to the mirror but I think I'll try the back of the touch screen as others have suggested.

I have the old ugly big transponder with the blue sticker. Just called them up and they are shipping me one of the new sleeker black ones to replace it.

Hmm. Maybe that's the difference for those having trouble. Mine is one of the new ones.

Aren't they all ugly? Mine is about 2 or 3 years old and subjectively ugly!

Yeah, they are all ugly but I find one to be uglier than the other.

This is what I did. I keep the transponder in my cubby. Once in a while it beeps, but usually not. I never get video charges. And best of all I don't have that ugly thing with adhesive on my windshield.

I got the new style sleek transponder and it worked fine beeping when i exited the highway.
