Where to mount the ETC tag?

Will F15 have windshields that block RF signals? Don't think so.

Where is the best location to place the electronic toll-collection system's transponder unit (tag for E-ZPass, MassPass, M-Tag, I-Pass, eToll, Telepass, etc.)?

I couldn't find the spot to place it, no matter where I mount it, it looks ugly from outsides.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Windshield does not interfere.

I wrapped mine in brown (near mocha) leather to mount on lower left of windshield and then thanks to hyde discovered the little storage area next to the headlight switch. I take it out of the storage and it is able to send a signal. The leather was pointless after the storage discovery.

Our windshield couldn't hide anything, but yours sounds like the good spot to hide this thing. Our NY stickers are on the lower left, but I can do it on the lower right or somewhere if I get the same new/small tag as hyde mentioned... Or I can do the same as your guys did...

Thanks.
