Are you talkin to me? Mine's stuck on the inside of my windshield behind the rearview mirror. I only stick on the transponder when we're going to be using EZ Pass that day; otherwise I put it in my glovebox and all you see are two semi-transparent stick-ons. People who ride in the car sometimes ask what the two sticky things are, and I just say its for the EZ Pass transponder.

The exterior transponders are UGLY, as if front plates weren't ugly enough. I took my front plates off. Hush, I know its illegal but so many cars do it here anyway.

A little late to the party here, but..
One solution would be to spraypaint it black, like someone else said, and just put it on the passenger's side of the mirror.. The rain sensor would kind of put it out of your view.
My dad had the same problem.. He hates the look of the white transponders.. So he went to the EZPass center and they gave him an exterior tag and mounted it inside the grille of his A8. It works.

we've decided to keep it in the glove box and just flash it when we need it...We don't drive it daily for commuting purposes, so we can live with this solution.

All the others, while good, still, to me, don't work perfectly.

You'd think that by now they could have it postage stamp sized, and a little thinner, and of colors that would blend in....

But we'll just do the old fashioned snatch and grab

I almost painted mine but worried how it would turn out..I was going to get one of the new grey ones we have here but found out the back side is white so that is not worth it.

I put mine in the little spot on the dash in front of the instruments up near the windshield it fits just right and doesnt slide around

makes no difference, every EZPass transaction is photographed, if someone steals it, they can't use it and if they do and it doesn't match your plate, you're not liable.

It's illegal in NY/NJ to not mount your EZpass to the windshield. If you pull up to the gate and flash it and a LEO sees you flashing it by hand, they can pull you over and fine you....

Just get the front license plate mounted pass, you can request one from EZPass, who cares if it gets stolen, it can't be used in a way that you're liable, they photograph every EZPass transaction and if the pass doesn't match your plate you're off the hook! No one steals ezpass transponders, they're useless to every/anyone but the proper owner.

Good to know! Thanks, Gresch!
