I bought a Sun Pass Mini, the little permanent one for 4.99. Silly question, but....I can't figure out if I am installing it correctly. Obviously, I looked at the instructions and even googled other sites hoping to find a picture of how it goes.

Once you peel off the back to install it, the plain, blank, side faces out and all the writing, numbers and bar code face the inside of the car? Is that right?? How does the blank side get read? If I am missing something, I would really appreciate any info, since I am driving the turnpike tomorrow!

It works similar to the gate passes... it is not "read" visually. It is a vehicle-mounted transponder that is activated by an antenna on a toll lane. Your account information is stored in the transponder. The antenna identifies your transponder and reads your account information. The mini passes are basically free after you use the 1st $5 worth of charges with no need to put batteries in them and takes up less room on the wind shield. We had numerous cars with the minis in all of them. It is no problem canceling or moving balances from one to another if you change cars. I like the stick 'em and forget 'em idea instead of having to worry about and replacing batteries.

I am disappointed that FL does not cooperate with the rest of the east coast states various versions of EZ-Pass. With my EZ-Pass I can run from DC all the way to Maine if I want to. With so many people coming from northern states into FL, it's s shame you have to get another unit just for FL.
