Hi guys this is for toronto-north area memebers,
I was wondering where have u mounted the 407 transponder in your car.

407 folks recommend to stick the transponder behind the front view mirror and i think that wud really look ugly. Isnt there someplace else in the car where it cud be readable to transmitters as well be discreet.

any suggestions,

thanks,

I put mine behind the rear-view mirror. But when I go in my friends car his just sits where the e-brake is and he has no problems. So I suggest u find a place that u like and see if it beeps when u get off the highway and if it does u should be fine.

Mines is on the windshield behind the mirror as well. Since the transponder is all black and so is your mirror, it doesn't really look all that noticable or bad.

mines in the shyt bin under my deck..
reach in and grab it when i'm on or off the hwy..
and that's only when i use Trafalgar Road cuz the sensors suck there..

so normally i just leave it where it sits..

note too..if ya ever get hit with a "pic" charge just call them up and bitch..say yer transponder never leaves your car and it IS mounted as per their instructions..
the few times i've gotten the extra charge i just called up and the extras were dropped.....like i said tho, the only time i have it NOT go off is when i use Trafalgar..

thanks again.

Thats right, there is no beep or flash of the lights when you get on, only when exiting.

I think it was a one-time activaton fee of $10.00 (can't remember exactly it was too long ago that I got it), and then $2.00 a month for rental of it.

some things are more of a necessity in a metropolian setup.

i save 20-30mins each day/one-way by taking the toll expressway. im not too happy to pay for driving on the expressway which was intially funded by us for us...but i dont have much choice.
