MB toll system
Hi,
I live in Seattle area and we have GoodToGo toll system. I want to get the toll tag installed but it looks like the windshield has specific location to install the tag. I was trying to find location of tag on windshield in the manual and I came across MB toll system. Is this present on all GLS (mine is 2022) and I can use it here in WA state? Any one tried it?
If the MB toll system doesn't work then what is a good place to put the tag on windshield. I have acoustic package infrared glass.
Thanks

The MB toll system is managed by a third-party company. It requires a monthly subscription and you don't get preferred toll pricing in systems where residents pay lower tolls than visitors. Not sure if Seattle is one of them. The integrated toll module is really mostly useful for travelling if you drive in multiple toll authorities and don't wanna have to carry a transponder for all of them. If you are just driving in the Seattle area then it's not worth it. It'll cost you more just by the fact that you have to pay a monthly subscription.

The typical locations for the transponders are right next to the rearview mirror on the passenger side and on the lower left corner (driver side). Another option is to consider a license plate account. Do you really need a transponder in the first place? The only reason we need transponders here in the SF Bay Area is if you wanna drive on the Express lanes, which are free for 3+ occupants. The transponder has a switch to indicate the number of occupants. I've used the Express lanes only once and likely won't use them ever again. The pricing is ridiculous and not worth it and I rarely have 3+ people in the car, so I'm considering to get rid of my transponder and just use a license plate account.

In MB vehicles that support it there's supposed to be a "Tolls" app in MBUX through which you sign up. You can't sign up on the payviam site like you can with Audi. If you don't' have the "Tolls" app, then your car doesn't have the ITM. Based on my recollection, the ITM was delayed initially. Not sure what the current availability is.
