Alternative mounting locations for EZ-pass

OK, so I just installed my new Escort 8500 using the customZ bracket from countryjoycraft.com and an invisicord. It looks great (no pics till I wash the ride). BUT the big dumb white transmitter for EZ-Pass has to go.... somewhere else. Im looking for ideas as to where to mount this sore thumb thats not easily visible. Any thoughts besides up my A$$?

Sure. Tell EZPass that you drive a van and need a front plate transmitter.

Has anyone tried mounting the big white one in the front bumper and see if it picks it up there ? I too am sick of looking at mine in the top of the windshield.

I think Ill move the big white transmitter to my DD truck and get one of those front plate transmitters. I would be hesitant to put it in the engine bay, I think it might not register going through the toll. Behind glass is one thing but surrounded by metal is another. I did consider painting it black and putting on the far side of the dash board, but I like the idea of davidv's transmitter better. Even though I dont have a front plate, I should still be able to mount it on the front grille in between the fins/vents.

They look to be some what sealed up. My friend has been putting his somewhere in the front grille of his cars for years. If your afraid of water put it inside of a few zip lock bags seal that bi*ch. Ill try it out and let you guys know the results.

Depending on where you live having it on the front plate makes it very easy to steal.

i'm sure that wouldn't work. here in Dallas, they give you a foil envelope thing with your toll tag for when you don't want to use it and want to pay manually.

Mine is a simple sticker with a small chip inside of it. I stuck it up next to the mirror. It is barely noticeable. In Houston they are slowly doing away with the 2"x4" plastic tags.
