TxTag Vs PDR Camera

[Blackwing16]

Has anyone with a CT4-V Blackwing that has the PDR camera figured out what to do for Texas toll roads? Just got my TxTag sticker and noticed how much of the PDR camera it blocks with it temp installed under the rear view mirror spot where it’s supposed to be mounted.

I worked in Dallas up until the beginning of this year but lived in the Seattle area. My TX toll tag was stuck to back of a vertically hung corporate parking tag that suspends down off the rear-view mirror. Worked just fine even though it wasn't on the glass. I'd suggest finding one of the cheaper on/off ramps and experimenting with placement on the glass to get it out of PDR view.

I never bothered installing mine when I was there (2017-18) just included my car details with my account online, they get the plates and can just as easily bill that way.
YMMV of course. If you want it on, I'd be tempted to try horizontally or vertically top right against the passenger side A pillar. Shouldn't really see it over there.

I just hold mine up when i go through the toll - seems to work just fine. Not my best recommendation though.

I keep toll sticker along with my registration in the glove box.... I'm a rebel and don't care!

Apparently you can drive through without the sticker for a while, but eventually they send a letter forcing you to install the sticker or start paying fees.

I think I’m going to try offsetting it on the passenger side of the windshield. It can go above where the PDR camera looks if its not centered under the rear view mirror

This is way too much effort for me! I would definitely miss some tolls, not that I drive on many tolls now anyway

I lied, the 4BW has toll sticker on the Passenger side up high... The 5BW has them in glove box......

I currently do this in my truck. It's offset 3 or 4 inches to the right of the recommended location. I do this so I can't see it from the driver's seat. No problems.

I just installed my txtag on the passenger side a few weeks ago. No issues so far

Touché - i don’t go through many tolls. I imagine if I did daily, I’d just say fuck it and hope they bill me accordingly.

I live off the tollway so I'm always on it, ugh!!!!

Still in the SS but placed the toll tag in all of my vehicles in a place that I can't see it from the drivers seat. Generally that puts it high center or high off center towards the passenger. Thanks for the heads up about the PDR for both the toll tag and the radar detector. I'll keep it in mind for... someday.

This is the spot I was thinking. Does this match what y’all have done and not had TxTag issues?

Exactly where mine is, except with a little more buffer from the edges
