Any of the corners should be sufficient, and would be out of the effective FOV of the Eyesight cameras. I would probably go with one of the upper corners since that would reduce the chance of reflection/glare impacting the cameras. The Eyesight documentation is overly cautious, as it should be considering it is safety system.

 

check your manual, there should be a diagram like this

I'd mount it to the sun visor or see if you can get a plate one

I installed my transponder behind the rearview mirror before I read the prohibitions. Also have a parking tag hanging from the mirror. No complaints from Eyesight. When I got my Crosstrek, I placed it in the upper left-hand side of the windshield. All work fine, as do their respective Eyesight packages.

 

Mine works fine behind the mirror just as on a non-eyesight Subaru. I found a template somewhere that worked perfectly.

 

Is it ok to mount an EZ Pass transponder in the space between the Eyesight cameras or will it interfere with anything ?

For what its worth I paced my Texas Toll Tag right under mirror mount. Does not interfere with eye sight on 2021 Forester.

Looks like you can mount it dead center right where the windshield and roof liner meet. No wires there for me. For a '14 but imagine is same for all years with Eyesight.....found the other thread that talks about this

 

New Forester recommends region from the edge to 10.4 inches in from the side edges of the windshield is OK and to avoid the middle. We didn't have velcro strips yet but setting our device on the dash by the right arm reach of the driver worked as a temporary solution..

 

I've got my EZPass and dash cam mounted just to the left and right of the rear view mirror mount, behind the mirror from the driver's perspective. They don't seem to interfere with the Eyesight in any way. At least, the Eyesight never goes inactive except in situations where I expect it to deactivate. I tried to take into account both the Eyesight cameras and my own eyes when placing them where I did.

 

Centered at the bottom of the mirror mount works for me on the ‘19

 

that's where mine is too. Only time the eyesight "disables" is frost or fog on the glass... (which is when you might think you need it most)

 

Is there any science behind avoiding the area with the black dots? That would be perfect if the dots don't affect the transponder, since eyesight obviously can't see through the black dots.

 

No reason to avoid them.

 

Where I live (NH) EZ Pass provides a transponder that is mounted onto the front license plate via the bumper screws. It cost $ 2 as opposed to $ 6 for the window mount unit. If you live in a state with front plates it makes a good option.

 

We have lanes that are free if you meet the HOV req’ts or tolled if not, so we have a pass which has a switch so needs to be inside

 

I haven't had any issue with the dots. I don't think they are anything that would block a signal.

Interesting aside, when my parents got their EZPass from PA, they were sent the license plate mount type. PA seems to think that there is something about the Subaru windshield that can block the signal. (Their car doesn't have Eyesight.)

Strange, because PA does not have a front plate, only the rear. Wonder if that's where they want the EZPass mounted? Might result in more violation fees since new Forester's don't have a handbrake to spin it backwards through the EZPass lane.

 

I'm in NH and have never had a problem mounting the transponder on the windshield behind any black dots. However I've never had a car with anything like Eyesight so just wanted to make sure that the transponder would not interfere. I should be able to put it dead center at the top of the windshield as I don't have any wires running up from the rearview mirror

 

Mine is mounted to the right of the eyesight camera (so not in between the two cameras). No issues with eyesight or with the tag being read.

 

I have a 2020 Forester Touring with Eyesight
I have a Texas ezpass to mount. Where to put it? Ezpass says behind the mirror on the windshield. That might interfere with the eyesight. Any ideas?
Thanks

@walthtz,

('14-'18) - EyeSight & FasTrak/EZPass...

Question for other CA owners with Eyesight... where did you decide to mount your hideous FasTrak toll tag? I usually mount it just to the right of the rear view mirror, out of my view from the driver seat, but that's not going to work on my Forester. Any suggestions for alternate mounting...

@sinbad Yeah, they use the mounting points for the front plate.

EZPass lanes have cameras front and rear to catch plates if the tags don't read. That's why you're supposed to register your tags to your license plate, so they can charge you appropriately (without extra fees) if your EZPass tag doesn't read.

 

As long as it's not obstructing the view of the cameras, and the EZPass is being read, then it shouldn't be a problem.

 

 

Here is where my dashcam and EZ pass are located.

 

The manual in my 2020 Limited specifically shows where to mount the transponder to avoid problems with the Eye Sight System. It is outside of Eyesight lenses.

 

I have a 2022 Forester Wilderness. My understanding is that the Eyesight system was modified for 2022. The manual shows where (on the windshield) items should not be mounted (to avoid interfering with Eyesight). I'm planning to mount my EZ-Pass soon. Before I do, I thought I'd double check with members here who have mounted toll transponders on a 2022. Other than avoiding the areas shown in the manual, any issues I should be aware of? Including good spots to mount the tag (tag instructions specify in front of the rear view mirror; this is in the area to be avoided). Thanks.

 

Lawyers, not engineers, apparently made the "do not mount things here" zones on these cars. With the newer Eyesight system, that has the camera enclosures that go all the way up to the windshield, there's literally no way to mount something where it will interfere with the cameras. (Unless you mount something to the outside of the windshield.)

On my 17, EZPass and dashcam are mounted behind the rearview mirror without affecting the Eyesight.
