Best NSW e-tag mounting location for Model 3
- Thread starter Maximillan
- Start date
I have mine (the RTA one) mounted vertically just to the left of the camera assembly at top centre of the windscreen. Works perfectly and I can’t see it while driving. Actually you can just see it if you zoom up my car in my profile picture that accompanies this post.
if you don’t like the look of the white plastic thing when looking into the car through the windscreen then you won’t like that location, but I don’t care and I have a couple of permits (parking, etc) stuck on the windscreen anyway which are rather more visible.

Mine is mounted on the windscreen just to the left of the camera.
Some have reportedly had success in the arm rest.
I tried mine on the back of the screen and it was 50/50 on SHB and ED, so relocated to usual mirror position.

In case you haven't seen it already, the Owner's Manual on page 174 (the "Using RFID Transponders" section), suggests to mount on the passenger side of the mirror.
Check out the youtube video posted by Wonk, looks like an expensive exercise but it seems that the armrest works
I normally just hold mine in my hand when going through the tunnels, with no issues to report so far.

I've been coping the 55 cent fee since I rarely use Tolls luckily but I am going to try that solution now, actually using some tomorrow so will report back how that armrest solution goes. I believe I am on the M1, then M2 then Northconnex so should be a good test maybe.
Best option: don't have an eTag. In my case, I called Roam/Linkt early in our ownership, pointed out the tag was working unreliably, and they exempted it from the license plate reading fee due to having a metallicised windscreen iirc. YYMV.
So an update, I checked my account and all 4 tolls were picked up in that position under the armrest, barely heard it so thought it didn't work though.
Tolls taken:
Eastern Distributor − M1 Woolloomooloo
Lane Cove Tunnel West
M2 North Ryde West
NorthConnex - Northbound

Yes. But I just found out there is one miss during my road trip to Canberra early this March. Not sure why
