Illinois I Pass Drivers
With the New Year and the increased tolls (without IPass), does the IPASS work on the TL. I read an article in the Tribune saying that Acuras, MB, Bmw, Lexus have had trouble. Thanks for the reply's

I have to get Ipass and its always worked on all the cars stated above. Dont worry about it. I think its stupid that they would increase the toll for non-I pass users. It really sucks for the people who live in the border states to pay all that money.

mine works great, its right at the top near the headliner where the rear view mirror attaches, it doesn't block the sensor for the auto dimming, and you can't really notice it from inside the car

I-Pass has never created any problems to me. I have installed it at the same location as cTLgo. Neither EZ-Pass (East Coast equivalent) had ever given me any problems (both systems are identical).

No problems with mine either. If you don't like the looks I believe you can get a transponder that attaches outside the car to your front license plate (provided you've got that on).

I see them mostly on GM minivans with the self-clearing (metallic coated) windshields.

I wish Texas would do the same with theirs...
I have an EZTag that I use in Houston, but it won't work in Dallas TX which is only 5 hours away.
the Tag won't work If I leave it in the in the compartment below the radio,
but I place it on top of the dash just before passing the toll
and it works fine. Painting it black is a cool idea, I also noticed ours can be bought in black.

i know some of you might already have it there
but if you want it to be less noticeable put it behind the tinted part to the right of the rear view mirror. it still works behind there for me.

We have Fastrak in CA and that can be used in the toll roads in southern CA and bridges in northern CA. However, the toll roads service center is based in Secaucus, NJ and could be the same company that run the EZ-pass. I hope eventually the Fastrak and E-Z Pass will be integrated into one system so that I can bring my pass and still use it on my TL or a rental when I travel in the east coast.

i cant tell you cause i have a CL and i havent had any problems. My buddies 04 TL is having some streak mark issues with his tint, but cant u get some of that moleskin before you tint the car and that will prevent the lines?
just let me know how many windows you wanna do and what %'age and i can get ya a price.

I don't agree at all with what IL is doing, I just hit an 80 cent toll yesterday on my way to O'hare that used to cost 40. Just another way to get everyone's money!
