Yes, this happened to us and the ezpass was in the glove box but still pinged. They told us to put aluminum foil around it when not in use.

Even though I didn't get SunPass Pro, I recently got charged for a toll in NY because a family member whose plate is on my account went through a toll. No transponder. They charged me based on their plate.

Upgrade to Unipas. No monthly fee and works in multiple states including FL. It is an expansion of the EZ Pass system.

Do you still have the RF bag it came in? That should prevent it from getting pinged in your glove compartment...

EZPass will only work in designated areas in Florida. Not everywhere.
Likewise, SunPass will work in most areas of Florida.
Problem is, Florida's contract with the company that runs SunPass.
Florida is looking to end it's contract With the SunPass management, which has had problems for years.
Their solution is SunPass PLUS, which will run on both systems, throughout the east, but managed by the EZPass people.
You need to get a SunPass Plus transponder. As of 5 months ago, no one in The Villages had them.
In that my experience was 5 months ago, call around (Publix, Walgreens, CVS, AAA) and see if they have them. If not, you need to order from Sunpass.com. It took about 2 weeks for me to get it.

Ezpass is now accepted at every toll gate in Florida.

SunPass PLUS is a way to use SunPass to pay for parking, it has nothing to do with highway tolls.

SunPass PRO is the new transponder that works for both SunPass and EZPass tolls. I used my SunPass PRO recently in NY and NJ.

I purchased my SunPass PRO in Publix back in October.

You should get EPass. I had EZpass and Sunpass. Neither covers the Central Florida Authority tolls which I encounter driving from the Villages to Orlando Airport. I finally got EPass and that covers all the tolls in Florida and all the tolls when I drive up north.

I have driven from the Villages to Orlando airport many times using SunPass for the tolls. No problem at all.

Is your Sun pass linked to a credit card? Years ago we bought a sun pass at Publix and thought it was automatically deducted at toll sites, until we got notices in the mail too. Weren’t aware You had to go to a manned booth for it to work.
