The lamination on the front windshield is so think my EZpass wont read. Is there a special place to place the EZpass so the toll booths can read it?? I have a 2003 S500 4-matic!

Contact EZPass. They make a EZPass transponder that attaches to the top of front license plate. It took only about a week for mine to be delivered, although in the meantime I was able to hold my old EZPass transponder to the front window.

Hope this helps.

In MA, I was able to trade in my white square for the license plate transponder on the spot. You can do this at the Fast Lane Service Center on the Mass Pike between Natick and Rt. 128.

I had to use the external on my impala SS, it goes mounted on the front license plate, it almost looks like a laser difuser.

Unfortunately, I cannot as my digital camera was stolen during a break-in a few months ago. However, I can tell you that it is definitely worth it. I didn't know it existed until I saw one mounted on the front of a black CL at a service-stop on the Merritt Parkway.

If you're on the Mass-Pike, stop in at the Fast-Lane center... they have them on hand so you can take a look. If you have any type of frame on your license plate, you'll need to invest in longer screws as the transponder plastic is quite thick.

Wait for it - here comes a whole new cottage industry: rip off of peoples ez-pass licenese plate transponders!! <SIGH>

Does anyone have any idea if these can be mounted on the rear shelf? If that works then I'm all for it. My problem is that I have a V1 then the wiper sensor area plus the tinting from MB -- alas not much room left.

My manual has a section dealing with the infra red windshield and there is a diagram showing the placement of passes and such.

The reason I chose the license plate transponder is because it is black and I could mount it between the roll bars of the SLK. This works great as the rear windshield does not seem to interfere.

The attached picture was one I took of my GPS sensor (now removed) but at the bottom you can see the EZPASS transponder.

On my S500 by the rear view mirror, is a black dotted area. If you mount the EZPass there it works perfectly. No interference from the metal in the windshield.

I HAVE contacted EZPass at least 6 times to send the license transponder and nothing shows up each time. I don't even think they write it down or order it, seems like I get yessed to death, then nothing,

Exactly, either side of the mirror is the place to mount. The owners manuel is very misleading to this.
