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.

OBU Installation and Removal Procedures

The OBU may be equipped with hook-and-loop strips or double-sided tape.
To install the OBU
1. Choose the location for your OBU
below the rearview mirror post.
2. Clean and dry the interior windshield surface completely before affixing the fastener strips. The windshield
temperature must be at least 68ºF (20ºC) for optimum bonding.
