Default sTTevo: how to smoke your iPass

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/88822/ipass1.jpg"></center><p>Steve, I kicked this over here from the TT forum due to rather localized content (Illinois Tollway).

This is a pretty $hitty quality effort, and marginally a "mod," but since you asked...

Take one glaringly white iPass transponder and a can of black spray paint. Mask the sides (I didn't and got a nice, unintentional gradient effect). Spray. Dry. Reinstall. Voila. Invisible iPass.

Downsides: probably forfeited Tollway Authority deposit; clear Velcro strips still stand out on windshield.

How's that for a depth of automotive knowledge?

Default I tried to smoke mine too.

But I couldn't get it to stay lit.

Thanks, I'll be here all week.
