Anyone having any issues with using a E-470 sticker on their IR-reflective windshield?

I have the sliding Express Toll transponder, and it works if you tuck it up into the dotted area around the rear view mirror - that area does not have the IR coating. Now, I don't know if it doesn't work in other locations, but I have heard that IR coatings can reduce the effectiveness of RFID transponders (the coating is metallic).

The IRR coating blocks the radio waves needed to make transponders work. You have to put it in the dotted area around the rear mirror where there isn't a coating.

The coating is reflecting the ceiling in the IR photo, you can see the dark spots next to the mirror/camera where the transponder has to go.

As others have said, put the sticker in the black dotted area next to the rear view mirror. My sticker reads fine. However, I also talked to ExpressToll when my sticker was replaced with a new windshield and they said as long as you have an account (associated with your plate) you'll get the discounted rate regardless of whether it reads your sticker or plate.

That's good to know!
