Default Having problems with EZPass/SmartTag in the allroad

Just got the allroad last weekend and put the pass on the windshield where I alway put it but it doesn't register when driving through the tolls. Anyone else have this problem? STFA and no luck.

Default Not at all. My NY/NJ Ezpass is right next to the rv mirror.

Perhaps the transponder's battery is dead? It does happen..

Default I know some of the GM cars had a coating on the windshield...

that blocked signals. People were left placing them under the cowl or hood or bumber.

Default TollTag works fine for me as well. Lower left side of the windshield...

You can get a license plate frame version of the toll tag where I live... Is this an option for you?

Default Works fine near top of windshield on '03. So does V1 radar detector mounted

just below tint band. A few years back Audi changed specs on US A8 windshields because of complaints that it blocked EZPass. But think that is no longer an issue on VW/Audi vehicles.

Default I've had problems in my 02....

solution I found was to open the sunroof as I went through and hold it up. Don't mind it since I don't really like the thing mounted inthe windshield anyway.

Default Nether ny MA nor NH tags work in my '01 ar. I use the sunroof...

I called NH EZ pass and they said it should work. I replied that it doesn't and asked for a remote tag.

They said don't bother - just drive through and we'll recognize you plate in the system.

Yikes.

Hence the sunroof.
