Hey, am about to get my euro (mid april) and I have one little concern!
I have an e-tag in my currant honda accord and want to use it in the euro (of course) but I am wondering about the antana on the windscreen.
Does the e-tag work through the antana or do I have to find somewhere else?
I put the e-tag on the dark area behind the rear-view mirror. It works on mine. Oh yeah, use those 3M command adhesive strips. They are easy to take off when you need to, and don't leave a residue on your windscreen.
What antenna on the windscreen? The antenna is in the rear window.Quote:

i have it in my driver side door pocket, take it out when i cross the toll's. Nice and easy if i ever need to take another car through tolls :)
Melbourne Transurban has a etag holder that uses suction cups instead of silcone glue stuff I have one in my car. Costs approx $5 bucks.
In the honda luxury its the horrible black thing on the top of the front windscreenQuote:

I hope its the antana cause otherwise its bloody ugly and I want it gone hahaha!
Am thinking about the 3M ones, I don't like suction cups from experaince of it constantly falling off! (other things not an e-tag)
But its good to know it will still work through that black holely thing on the front window regardless!!!
Pup: I think that black thing u are referring to is the auto wipper sensor, Not antenna.
yfin's right, antenna is in the rear wisdow.
Yeah, because my Euro base model doesn't have that black thing in the front. Hehe
Got a new etag, it comes with 2 legs and the unit can be pull out from the legs. The legs already got some kind of 3M sticky adhesives, but I am not too sure if I want to stick em on the windscreen ATM....
I tried to stick my etag clip onto my Euro on the weekend and it wouldn't stick - the adhesive strip wouldn't sit high enough to bond with the windscreen.
I'll investigate those suction things... thanks!
Great thread revival guys...Very impressive. Good to see some people search

On the subject of e tags i'm looking at getting one.There are a few types,any suggestions as to which one is the best?BTW i live in Sydney south............thanks.
All these while I thought there only one type... RTA etag/etoll
yeah, etag should be fine on top windscreen.. even cover by black glasses. as long is not block by thing..
I thought that black device was the sensor for the auto-dimming rear view mirror. Maybe it's also the rain sensor for the wipers.Quote:

So I dont have etag's in my car's at all, I always keep em topped up though....hehe ugly looking things anyhow lol
hold and put it out the window when going thru the tolls [:D]
I just chuck mine on the dash and drive through the toll zones...
i got told that if you have a metallic windscreen the tag will only work IN the black shaded area which is the rain sensor that makes your wipers turn on automatically. apparently that's the only place that isn't metallic
Also found a website that sells e-tag brackets with the suction cap if anyone is interested www.unibrac.com:thumbsup:
hold up, that ugly looking inverted black thing on my windscreen is an auto wiper??
so my 2003 lux is meant to sense when its raining and start the wipers??? because it doesnt right now...
PS: my etag is in the black area above the rear view mirror , works fine.
