2024 GLE 53 AMG Coupe Sunpass Placement
I took delivery of my GLE 53 AMG Coupe and I am trying to figure out where to place the sunpass on the windshield. It has the winter package so it has the heated windshield, but it does not have the acoustic package. I was not able to find anywhere in the manual if the windshield has certain spots where it can go.
Does anyone know where the sunpass can go on the windshield or if it can go anywhere and still work?

The only windshield that I know of that restricts toll pass placement is the Acoustic glass. Use the instructions from Sunpass.

My cars' plates are all registered in my sunpass account. Don't use the transponders anymore. All toll areas I've seen across the state use cameras to read the plates, hence transponder isn't needed, at least as I use the toll system. Maybe sunpass in states outside Florida still require the transponder.

@suby01 A sunpass is the toll transponder for the tolls on Florida roads (and I think some out of state too).
@TF_CC Thank you! That is where I put mine. I was not sure if this windshield was different and the manual was not helpful.
@mikapen My GLE 53 AMG Coupe has the "winter package" which has a heated windshield and a heated steering wheel. I was not sure if the heated windshield would affect the Sunpass.
@jaxslk Without the transponder, do you get the discounted Sunpass price or does it just go through bill by plate?

I’ve seen on YouTube that you can place the sticker on the sunroof on a piece of clear static window cling. I haven’t done as I am ordering a new GLE 63s Coupe, but my build date is in May. I’m going to do it this weekend and I’ll report my findings.

@makris0000 your Winter Package has a "Heated windshield washer system."
Not a "heated windshield."
You can put your pass anywhere in the glass you choose.
Just follow the sunpass instructions.
My toll pass provider suggested using the leading edge of the sunroof. I have put it there but I haven't run through any tolls to see if it's a good suggestion.

Read this too, esp section 9.1.4

For certain airport parking changes via Sunpass, users may be reqd to use the transponder. I don't use any parking like that. HTH

When I explained the situation to the DMV clerk, she offered a Motorcycle Sticker for placement on the left-side headlight. That seems to work well. No further issues.

Placement is only critical on Acoustic Glass (with IR block). It's an $1100 option. It's not part of the winter package.
Put your Sunpass where the pass providers instruct.
Enjoy!
