Yes...you are correct. We purchased a SunPass Pro specifically for our trips back to New England. SunPass Pro works everywhere. The SunPass Pro mounts with the suction cups and we remove it when we return to Florida.

We access our SunPass account and deactivate the permanent mini SunPass that is stuck behind the rear view mirror. There is a simple pulldown box on the website to deactivate any transponder. The morning we leave we deactivate the permanent one and stick up the SunPass Pro. This way we will not get charged twice.

Obviously, when we return the SunPass Pro goes into the desk and we "re-activate" the regular credit card size SunPass mini permanently mounted behind the rearview mirror.

TIP: Remember to deselect the SHOW ACTIVE TRANSPONDERS button on the Sun Pass website (it is at the top right) so you can see the transponders to activate or the site will "hides" the deactivated transponders.

Easy-Peasy.
