I just installed a transponder and wire tied it to the grill pointing down . It did not get a pickup at Laguna Seca. In talking to one of the timmers he said that the instructions that say it will go through plastic is wrong and I must have a direct line of sight. So my question is where is everyone mounting there transponder?

Your suggestions greatly appreciated.

 

It will go throught thin plastic, but where you located it, it probably was too thick (going through bumper and splash shields) try mounting it to the front inner fender liner pointing down, should work fine.

 

Thanks for the reply, Just too many layers of plastic I guess.

 

I've seen people make custom mounts with their liscence plate brackets. Not sure of the exact details but something to think about. Maybe you could even get creative with the tow hook.
What kind of transponder did you get?

 

I got a hard wired unit and I will add a switch when not in use.

AMB 260

 

C Ray Z, just hard wire it into a power wire that is hooked to something that turns off and on with the ignition, that way you never have to worry about turning the transponder on or off yourself...

 

ALong, very good idea. I would hate to forget to turn it on when you think your are on your best lap!

 

Heres a pic of mine mounted

It is just above the splash shield mounted to the little plastic support piece
