Can you pre-pay for tolls?

 

Yes, of course. There is always funds in my Pikepass account for my toll transactions.

 

This explains why the door for my parking in the building gives me such a hard time!

 

Those RFID tags are wimpy through the heating grid in our windshield. I received another tag which they recommend sticking it in the inside of the sunroof. We'll see.

Their system really stinks and the humans charging it to my account are entering the toll transaction with penalty charge! It's not my fault that their system is not able to read the tag on the windshield!

 

That is unfortunate that the transponder does not work because of the heating grid in the windshield.

 

My EZPass transponder only worked some of the time mounted on the windshield. Replaced it with an "external" transponder and zip-tied it to the front grill. Problem solved. Also moved my radar detector to the lower left windshield corner and that works better now, too. You can shine a flashlight through the windshield to see the "wire free" zones on both the left and right sides. But its only a few inches wide at the bottom and much less at the top.

 

The EZ-Pass is a different system than the one used in Oklahoma's Pikepass system. The transponder is a piece of plastic which contains an RFID type of element. It has to be mounted (it has strong adhesive on one side) inside the windshield. Once removed, it is dead and has to be replaced (bad system IMHO). I followed the mounting instruction but since I cannot mount it on the center because of the camera and the plastic shade, I mounted it a little to the left of the plastic shade towards the driver's side. All the toll plazas I went through were all "Plate pay" or "Toll violation". The humans added penalty on the "violation" transactions!
