Default My new Q7 and EZ Pass don't mix!

Just picked up my 2007 Q7 today and I love it. But coming home, I was stopped at both EZ Pass tolls because my pass didnt register with the booth. Some some articles about cars with metallized windshields now? Has anyone else with a Q7 experienced this? Any answers to this issue?

I use a FastLane transponder (used in MA and similar to EZpass) and haven't had any issues

Default No issues here in Virginia

My EZPass is mounted behind the mirror on the passenger side - due to the angle, I don't even see it.

Is the joy of your new Q7 causing you to drive too fast through those lanes?

Read some boards... apparently, on the new metallic windshields, there are zones where you can read the ez passes. The area by behind the rear view mirror (about 2 inches from the top) worked this morning! I used to leave it on my A4 dash, so when I did the same with the Q7 thats why it wasnt being read.

I have mine next to the rear view mirror on the passenger's side. No problem with it.
