Illinois Tollway

I've never had trouble with the interior model, and the I-Pass works to well if you decide to go that route. I had my I-Pass wrapped up in my truck and buried and the stinking IL tollbooths still charged it when I went through in my truck.

 

I have the i pass. It works in all of the eastern states except the behind times Ohio.

 

I had mine secured with velcro above my rearview mirror. I never had any problems with it being read. The velco allowed me to take the unit out of view when I let the car.
There where times i just kept it on the dash and it worked there too. It's a great conveniance to have at the O'hare back up!

 

Wrap it in foil if you don't want the unit charged. Hope this helps!

 

Its funny this thread just popped back up, because we just had a major issue with our I-Passes. It kept denying them, and saying LOW BALANCE. Credit card company said the card was fine, I-Pass said it was the CC.

Our office worked all day Tues and Wed. We were told to pay cash and record it for a reimbursement, until they fixed it. I pulled up to my first cash toll, which also reads the I-Pass, and it popped open. They all came back online about 5pm Wednesday, because I called a couple other drivers who were still out and they said it was working for them too.

Called the office and they were still trying to get a solid answer.

 

A few months after Il started accepting ezpass I went thru one of the non dedicated booths and it didn't pick up my tag. So I held it out the window and it STILL didn't pick it up. Lady in the booths says "we don't take ezpass here" I told her "######## I've been using it for months" after I dug out the change. Incompetence and corruption is par for the course in that goofy state, especially on the tollroad.
