Rear View Mirror - sticker behind it...

I am sticking on my transponder on the windshield; for the toll highway here in Toronto.

Last car I had, I placed it right behind the rear view mirror.

On the TL there is some sort of sticker behind it....

wanted to ask you guys if there is specific reason for this...and what it is...

any help would be great...

If its what I’m thinking about my mom’s lexus has one of those. Basically when you pull into the service department it would automatically scan and lets the service advisor know you have arrived. Its suppose to speed up the process and you get created by name. Post a pic if you can.

I had heavy duty velcro hook stickers (3 of them) on my windshield behind the rear view mirror.

Took that shiii off right away with hair dryer and Goo Gone

They don't come with stickers or anything though.
Maybe your previous owner put it on and kept it on.

I think your transponder would work fine in that location regardless...

I had my EZ Pass in my glove box and it would still charge when I went thru a toll. It doesn't matter where it is. It will still charge unless you have it in a bag they supply when you order it.
