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.

 

it definitely works, although it is quite unsightly on the windshield where it is required to be mounted.

 

Should work fine.

 

Works for me and I'm painting the case black.

 

I wouldn't put it up though, keep it in the storage and just take it out when you need it.

 

Well mine works, but I have a really old one that has the LCD display.

 

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 live in michigan and I have the ipass lol... mainly because whenever i come there its just a pain in the ass to find change and all that crap... i dont mount it... but i wish there was a good plce to mount it so its hidden...esp so i dont have to think about it when im there

 

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).

 

I spray-painted my EZPass black. It is virtually unnoticable in my ebony interior, mounted high up, just to the left of the rear-view mirror. Works fine.

 

Good idea I think im gonna do that too.

btw....what states does the EZpass encompass?

 

EZPass can be used in MA, NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, WV, and VA. Soon I think one will be able to go from Maine to at least Virginia as EZPass merges with other fast, pre-paid services (like SmartTag here in VA).

 

Works on my TSX... I just leave it up where the front of my windsheild meets my dash.

 

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).

Works in mine. I keep it stored in the compartment below the radio and only take it out when I need it.

 

i thought about that too, but what happens if u get into an accident? what about theft issues? i just got the box, because of those 2 reasons.

 

us new jerseyians have EZPASS

 

Not sure about either of those. Accident - I imagine you might lose your $35 deposit. Theft - probably depends a lot on where your car spends its time, and whether you garage it at night.

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

We got an ezpass 2, it really helps tho its really visible in our other cars

 

well, im just not going to take that risk.

 

I have E-ZPass mounted to the right of my rearview as well, not noticeable and works great.

 

since all you IL people are in here... any Navi owners that have their windows tinted? if so, where from?

 

The Acura dealer I bought from has IPass in all the loaner/Tester cars so I found out during a test drive it works fine. Since getting it myself it has worked perfectly in my '04 TL.

 

downers grove....called z-tech. pm me if your interested. i also know a bunch other people who have had it done from them. great work.

 

that's great...
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.

 

Mine is fine.

 

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.

 

It's been awhile since I've checked these forums....I looked at tint earlier in the year, but couldn't get a real good answer on the metallic tints versus ceramic tints and the effect on the Navi. Ztech only uses metallics. Has there been a general consensus after all these months on what is safe to tint your TL with? Also, what kind of pricing did you get at Ztech?

 

I've been using a metallized tint for almost a year now and haven't experienced any issues as of yet......

 

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 think what we need is a NORTH AMERICA PASS that works on all toll roads in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Since it's all electronic, the differences in currency would not be an issue.

 

i think their shouldnt be tollways. just pay a damn fee every month so it doesnt hold up traffic and let us drive.

 

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!

 

I hate Illinois tolls. Especially now so that they increased the charges. FIBS!

 

so get an IPASS. they want everyone buying those, otherwise your going to be bending over to the tollways 80cent collection.

 

and soon the IPass will be used to time your speed
