You may also want to keep one of the windshield mount versions in your glove compartment because a couple booths offered to try scanning that... or you can try holding it out the window as a backup.
the photo helps a bunch, thanks.
Larry - I have a FL DMV-issued HOV sticker on my car and I also registered with SFCS but did not put their 95Express sticker on my car....As I understand it the problem with mounting transponders behind the nose cone is that they are no longer accessible. Therefore you can't turn them off. So if you happen to go to the trouble of obtaining a HOV decal you would still be charged while traveling on the HOV lanes.
What I did was purchase the portable transponder (with the suction cups) at a local Publix. I Velcroed it to the back of my Model S's rear view mirror stalk. In that location it has worked for me 100% of the time. We don't have HOV lanes here on the West Coast of Florida, but if I traveled the HOV lanes on I-95 I could easily remove the transponder and put it in a foil bag to avoid getting charged....
Not close. The hook screws in way over on the driver's side.I was wondering where the tow hook fastens to the car. Do we need to worry about interference with the location?
Thanks Bill,Larry - I have a FL DMV-issued HOV sticker on my car and I also registered with SFCS but did not put their 95Express sticker on my car.
Even though SFCS recommends turning off the SunPass transponder, I've driven in the 95Express lanes many times with my "always-on" SunPass transponder and my Sunpass account has never shown a charge on it for those lanes.
There must be a database entry which automatically excludes my car from ever being charged by SunPass in any 95Express lanes.
I don't know if the state HOV registration or the SFCS registration has caused my car to be in that "exclusion" database. Maybe someone else that does not have both of these registrations could shed light on which one gets your car in that database.
Yes, I do keep the white interior transponder in the foil Mylar bag in the glove box, but more as a spare if I need a loaner car. My exterior FasTrak on the front black bumper rail works perfectly.
Bill D--good desire drilling out the bumper. I would wonder what it is made from and if it is heat treated/hardened...might not want to drill it then....I 'stuck' with Velcro & ZipTies, identical position to yours.

I have the HOV sticker and my Sunpass transponder behind the nose cone, thus always on. I have not yet been charged for HOV using this configuration. As a Sunpass it has been 100% reliable including my regular use for parking at MIA. I expected to be billed for HOV but as you surmise there must be some sort of screening. I'm switching to my new personalised plates within the next few weeks so we'll see if the same thing holds true following my reregistration with Sunpass.Larry - I have a FL DMV-issued HOV sticker on my car and I also registered with SFCS but did not put their 95Express sticker on my car.

For those in Florida, just found this list Special Windshield Mounting Tips of cars that the Sunpass will not work. Tesla is listed, you need to mount it outside (under the nose cone). In refreshed vehicles I have no clue where you'd mount it.
[QUOTE="FloridaScott, post: 1703475, member: 51448"On non-refreshed vehicles the only place that works is to mount the transmitter behind the nose cone.
