By the way, you don't drive a new car. Everyone drives a used car. LOL.
My mirror housing on both my car and my golf cart are black. Black duct tape IS very noticeable (at least to me) on both of these mirrors, which is why I don't have a gate pass in those spots.

The only way I'll use an RFID tag is if it can be placed inside the mirror. It was on my last car, and worked fine, but it wasn't a disc, it was a long strip that was stuck inside the mirror. It was about 1" wide by 2 - 2 1/2" long.

Has anybody found these types of tags available? The larger (and therefore larger antenna) in an RFID tag, the farther away they can be activated and read.
