    Default Where have you put your EZ Pass?

    Has anyone mounted an EZPass box on their Spyder RT. If so, where is the best spot. Or do you just carry it in your glove box and use it in your hand when going through booth.

    Thanks for any input, and excuse if my signature isn't working properly. New to the Spyderlovers page and still haven't figured everything out yet.

    Is that inside the trunk lid on front of bike? Does it read it through the lid, I thought it had to be visible.

    I had mine below the hinge in the frunk on my 2011. Just traded to a 2016 and was planning on the same location.

    I thought I had posted this somewhere but I can't find it. I mounted my SunPass in the rear trunk lid. I took the RFID board out of the plastic and put it in with thin double side tape. Been working flawlessly for over a year.

    I carry mine in the glove box. Been working fine for six years and two spyders.

    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice ... in practice, however, that's just a theory.

    In New York State and everywhere EZ-Pass is accepted it is illegal to "tamper, modify or alter" an EZ-Pass device. They are also considered loaned to and not owned by the holder of the account. My thoughts

    Yes, it is inside the frunk lid at the front of my RT. It doesn't really have to be visible, but as I said earlier, with the new toll readers going in (think Tappan Zee Bridge) I may have to move it. I've been thinking of getting a Hopnel pouch for the dashboard and putting it in there.

    Have mine velcroed to the inside of the trunk. Roll through the tolls at over 50 mph and never missed yet.

    I tucked mine up into the nose of the bike: underneath the Frunk cover!
    (There's a document pouch up there, and my E-Z Pass box sits right behind it.)

    The direct bridges on IN I-65 South over the Ohio River into KY. are now license plate photo toll bridges. Bought an EZ pass transponder. Plan to put it in my dash mounted Hopnel bag.

    It has been a long time since I got my EZ Pass, many years, so I don't know the new rules.

    When they first came out you were required to have one per vehicle, as in you could not move from your car to your truck or MC, is thisstill the case?

    I ask because I know that there is a lot of that going on now.

    I also mount mine in the front trunk with Velcro. They don't have to be visible and use a different technology than a typical RFID chip.

    I've got mine in exactly the same spot.
    I have trouble at the Newburgh-Beacon bridge and the Bear Mountain Bridge. Everywhere else is fine.

    I don't even mess with a transponder on any of my bikes anymore. As long as the bike and plate are registered on your account with EZPass it's a non-issue. Just roll right through...
