Easy Pass!!!!
I was thinking of putting my Easy Pass on the windshield!!
There's some kind of sensor on the back of the rear view mirror!!
Will I block or disrupt something to do with the sensor if I put the Easy Pass
on the windshield infront of that??????????
Thanks

That is the unit for the compass from what I have seen on earlier topics about it. I have my Ez-Tag just below it and they both seem to work fine.
Of course I had to calibrate my compass the zone that I live in. I think it was zoned for the KC plant that the truck was built in.

The sensor is for your automatic dimming mirror feature. There's a sensor on both sides of the mirror. If the one facing the rear of the vehicle sees more light than the one looking out the windshield then the mirror will dim.
If you put some sort of sticker in front of your mirror then it may make it darker in the area of the front sensor. This may cause your mirror to dim more easily. The whole purpose is to dim if someone has bright lights behind you.

You can request an exterior tag that mounts on the front license plate. I hate the look of those tags in the front window. They usually only give them for vehicles that have windshields that obstruct the signal. Just tell them other people you know with the truck are having problems with the windshield mounted tags.

I had my EZ-tag in that top compartment also - until last week. I had always gone through the un-manned lanes and gotten the green light - or at least absence of the light that comes on and says "contact EZ Tag store". Unfortunately I had to go through a manned Full Service / EZ Tag booth since people wouldn't let me over to the left lanes during morning rush hour. (You know how friendly all Texans are) 
There is no gate arm to serve as a certain notice that your toll has registered. The guy before me paid in cash and I stayed back a little ways hoping to see a definitive green light then red light to signal his transaction was over. The light stayed green for an awful long time so I figured I must have been too close to allow the red light to come on and I just accelerated through the booth. Low and behold the attendent comes running out after me and looking at my license plate - presumably to report me for failure to pay a toll. I haven't received a bill or fine yet, but since my EZ-Tag wasn't stuck to my windshield, if the cameras took a picture of my truck there will be no visual evidence that I had an EZ Tag. Nervously I wait...
