Why do people pay for EZPASS? I received mine from Massachusetts in 5 days.
“Massachusetts's E-ZPass system does not have a yearly fee or deposit. Customers must pay an initial $20 fee if opening an automatic replenishment account and $30 if opening a manual account replenishment. The minimum balance required in Massachusetts is $20, and accounts auto-replenish at $10.”

If I'm not using Sun Pass for a while, I put it in the glove compartment, the sun is a killer here in the summer.

The scary thing...................the lights still work and it appears to be functioning.

Something very important inside does not light heat......it was in the 90's in Texas when it happened.

Just be glad you didn't get the normal "if you obey the law, you don't need a radar detector" schtick from the self anointed traffic police!

Will we be wanted outlaws by FL, VA, NJ, DE, NY and MA ??


The hot Florida sun will do that. Keep it in the shade.

You can go online to have your SunPass switched to a new car. Similarly if your SP doesn’t work anymore you can go to CircleK and get a new SunPass and easily go on line and transfer your information. The original post was about EZPass which I had when I lived in NJ.

A product distributed in Florida by the Florida Government should be manufactured with specs that allow it to endure the most common element of Florida life- HEAT.

Wouldn’t heat inside car be just as damaging as sun?

The transponder has a small lithium battery. The average battery life of the transponders is between eight and 10 years,

Apparently, some states automatically send replacements for units approaching end of life.

If your E-ZPass transponder is old, you might be among nearly 1M drivers needing a new one
