That is why these devices don't work well in an SVX. On the plus side, you will be protected from harmful radiation from a nuclear power plant accident in an SVX, if you park facing the plant.
The external EZ-pass transpnder is a black, horizontal rectangle; approximately 5.5"L x 1"D x 1.5"H. It has holes which align with those on the license plate holder for the front bumper. I've had one mounted on my SVX for about 5 years now. It has not given me any problems.
Good Luck.

Oh.
So that would explain why my cell phone wouldn't work when I put it on speaker and tossed it on the dash...thereby distracting me so I almost wiped out the toll gate on the way back from Jersey.
