IIRC the instructions said it can be installed hidden under the hood.

Suggestion
Few people realize that they have an E-Z Pass unit that attaches to the license plate using the same screws.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I was looking to have a remote or hidden EZ Pass for my newly purchased 04 C2. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I checked the archives but found nothing....As usual thanks for all the help with my new purchase...

One tiny piece on the inside of the windshield will let you easily mount the pass behind your rear view mirror. You won't even be able to see the pass when driving.
Keep the pass in your glovebox the rest of the time and the small velcro tape on your windshield is barely visible from outside the car.
A fully concealed install may not be very reliable as far as the pass sensors are concerned.
You could always do the "drive with the left hand and flash the pass and The Bird with the right hand" method!

Few people realize that they have an E-Z Pass unit that attaches to the license plate using the same screws. I have them on all of my cars. If you�d like I will post a photo. Actually, look at my avatar, you can see a hint of it.
yea, get the one that attaches to your license plate, or just keep it in your glovebox and wave it when you are goin through the toll.
i wonder if the unit can be mounted inside the bumper? or does it need line of sight,
i been meaning to get an EZpass for years, for some reason i'm too lazy to fill out the form
I have it mounted under my rearview mirror with the suction cups. I bought a black holder and spray painted the ezpass black... you can't see it at all
EZPass doesnt like it when you custom install your pass into your sunvisor.... Im thinking that the pass might need to be pressed against the windshield or VERY close to it...
Also, remember that it cannot be a permanent install. I have had EZ pass for several years and just recently they sent me a manditory replacement, right out of the blue.
The catch is that you MUST return your old tag (as a tag), or you get charged and they make things all very difficult, even if its late. This I found out as I was driving to South Carolina this past week!
I've had the alternate EZ Pass unit on my license plate for three years. IIRC the instructions said it can be installed hidden under the hood. The problem with this is that sometimes the toll gates don't work and they have to scan it with a hand-held device. I would think this means means going through the hassle of getting out of the car and popping the hood. Putting it on the license plate is the easiest and least intrusive way as far as I can see.
(Adds weight to the front end too
)
The units used in Virginia (and maybe in other states) have a battery that dies after 5 years, so they have to be replaced. I had mine painted black and Velcro'd to the dash, where it was hard to see and worked great, but when the battery died and I took it in for a new one they said they couldn't re-use it, and charged me $35 to replace it.
Guess what? The new one is now painted black and Velcro'd to the dash!

The California units are too large to place on the rear of the rear view mirror. I covered mine with grey fabric and set it in the rear window deck. It works fine there, and blends in with the carpet. Might be a problem if you have metallic tinted windows .
Rather than using black paint, a wide piece of electrician's tape may be more suitable insofar as it would be removable. Best to conceal it at least that much as it may get stolen.
I put my I-Pass (Chicago area) mounted to the glass sunroof on my Lexuses. I just hold it when in the 996. What if you put them in the rear hatch area behind the rear seats like an xm antenna?
