E-ZPass Questions (NY Metro Area)
This is already the second E-Zpass I got replace from MTA. It doesn't seems to work with S550's Windshield. Anyone else live in NY area with E-Zpass tag that actual work inside S550?

When you look at the windshield with the right angle and light, you can see a grid pattern in two different areas on the windshield. I but some temporary tape in each corner of this grid when I mounted my radar dector, so I knew for sure it would be in the clear.

I will be posting many images and some narrative (hopefully all positive) after delivery. I plan on picking the car up in Denver and then driving to SC, FL and MS and back to LV. A total of about 6000 miles. If Apple would come out with their new iBook in April, I will buy one and use that to post along the way, otherwise I will be out of contact for about 4 weeks.

NJ, I wonder if you ever found info on the locations on your S430. I have an 06 S55, and have only been able to find one spot--down at the bottom of the windshield and offset to the right, right above the end of the left wiper. I don't really care for this location, but it is the only place I have found where my radar detector works properly.
I looked all through my manual and could not find any info.
Thanks.

License plate mount
Get a license plate mounted transponder. I have it on our SL 500 and the 7. I'll transfer it onto the S550LE when I get it. You dont even notice it and you dont have to have that ugly white box stuck on your windshield! Just my $.02!!

I can almost see NYC...
but it costs more in tolls than fuel to get there! EZpass has been a god send, no more change, tokens, tickets, or greenbacks to exchange!

Thanks... I must have missed that page in the manual.
My detector doesn't seem to work very well up by the mirror, so I will have to continue to use the lower spot.
