General Installation Information
Metallized Windshields:
Some vehicle windshields contain a metallic treatment that could prevent an interior
windshield-mounted on-board unit (OBU) from working correctly. If you have a vehicle with a metallized
windshield, you may need to install an exterior OBU on your vehicle instead of the interior windshield-mounted
OBU. Contact your local OBU customer service center for more information. If your vehicle’s metallized
windshield has a metal-free zone, it is usually located near the rearview mirror.
Metal-Free Zone:
Some vehicle metallized windshields have a metal-free zone. If your windshield has this zone,
center the OBU in that area and follow the installation instructions listed on this page.
Tinted Windshields:
Some vehicles have a metallic tint across the top of the windshield that might interfere with
reading the OBU. If your windshield has this metallic tint, install the OBU at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) below the
tinted area. Nonmetallic tint does not affect OBU performance.
Metal Sun Visors:
Some vehicles have an exterior-mounted sun visor that might interfere with reading the OBU. If
your vehicle has this visor, mount the OBU at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) below the visor.
