Special Windshields
•
Note that some vehicle windshields have metal coatings. These can substantially reduce reliable
reading distance or even hinder reading.
•
Frequently, however, a metal-free area can be found in the windshield, either directly behind the
rear-view mirror or at one of the corners.
•
For example, while Ford Mondeo windshields contain heating elements, a suitable tag location
can be found in both of the windshield ‘s lower corners.
•
Note: some Audi A8 and Lexus car models come with windshield metal coatings to reflect UV
radiation. Unfortunately, this coating could reduce the reliable read distance of installed tags.
•
If the reliable read distance of a windshield tag is unsatisfactory, Idesco can provide its EPC Metal
Tag ABS for siting inside the vehicle (e.g. on the dash) or installed onto the vehicle bumper which
will probably resolve the issue.
