Anyone have suggestions/recommendations on the placement of tolltag a on the front windshield of a Taycan with the factory thermally insulated glass option?
My dealer placed my new tag on the right side of the glass behind the rear view mirror. I’ve been through 8 readers on the toll roads around Dallas and our tag readers at work and it seems that I am not getting any reads at all.
Any working suggestions??

I was really worried about this but it turned out to be a non-issue for me. I have a 2022 4S with thermal/noise glass and an EZ Tag (Houston area) and it works just fine.

Initially, I experienced a similar issue. With the thermally insulated glass option, attach the toll tag directly on the upper-darkened dotted area, located on either side of the base attachment to the rearview mirror.

I have an ezpass toll reader on my front license plate and works perfectly. Attached with special screws so hard to remove if you don't have right tool . It looks fine, like a black license plate frame.

I had to move my Colorado toll transponder a couple of times before it worked properly. Very important to place at least part of it in the marked area around the mirror.

Mine works fine using this placement to the right of the mirror.

Hey! I'm in Dallas too (Frisco) and I just didn't install the tag at all. The scanners do a great job just reading your license plate as long as you've configured it on ntta.org.

Mine wouldn’t work, even when placed in the designated areas around the rear view mirror. I ended up having to use a license plate transponder.

you have the toll device parallel to the ground. You want this flush with the overhead, rear-view console that is attached to the glass. There are two rectangles that allow for non-resistant transmission of signals next to this. Here is a picture to help conceptualize and align the toll device more inline with what is recommended. I have mine mounted like this on the passenger side and I can't even see it and is tucked, flush-out of the way.

Does your tag work well in HOV mode? IIRC, there are 2 RFID's in there, the toll one on the right, HOV on the left, and the slider blocks one of them (do if you slide the yellow plastic to the right, exposing the HOV underneath, the RFID on the left is also exposed while the on the right is blocked).

Yes it still works well for me.

Under the hood! Smacked it under the hood / over the frunk compartment area. Works great.

Brian: where exactly on your windshield do you have your EZ Tag placed? I've just picked up my 2022 GTS (!!!) and am going through the process of replacing windshield tags etc. Thanks ... Zain
