My old hard brick tag wouldn't trigger the sensors no matter what I did with it. I tried putting it in the following places:The lady at the eztag office told me to just put it in the side pocket so thats where I keep it.
The hard plastic ones are still recommended for motorcycles.
In Houston, they still issue the old types for motorcycles, the ones that are about 1/2" thick. I keep mine in the right fairing pocket of my ST1100. Works just fine. I also have one for my VFR that I keep in my tank bag.Texas has gone to a stick on "decal" with the tiny RFID chip sandwiched between the layers.
So you can no longer move it between vehicles? Do they charge you a fee for each one you get?Texas has gone to a stick on "decal" with the tiny RFID chip sandwiched between the layers. They say that if it isn't mounted (like a decal) properly it won't work at all. They go on to say that "holding it in your hand" or "waving it at the sensor" is just wasting your time. That pretty much narrows the mounting location down to "affixed to the windscreen" somewhere. They also caution that if it is mounted "within one inch" of a metal part, it won't function properly and they warn that if you try to remove it once it is stuck to the screen, it will be destroyed. They don't offer any specific placement suggestions (locations) though.
In Texas, it has always been illegal to move the device between vehicles. You must have one specific tag for each vehicle and you must "register" that vehicle by make, model, color and license plate number. Doing otherwise "may result in a fine."So you can no longer move it between vehicles? Do they charge you a fee for each one you get?
I tried the breast pocket location too, and it didn't work for the Texas Tolltag either. My hunch is that due to the "forward leaning" ride position on the ST, my body shielded the RFID chip and the sensors couldn't detect it.I put mine in the breast pocket of my Aerostich and it did NOT work at all. Any body else try this? If it didn't work there, I doubt that it would work in the fairing pocket or tank bag. The unit is less than 1 yr old so it should be plenty strong.
