Question Mounting Toll Tag Sticker on the X5M Windshield

Here in Austin, TX we mount this Toll Tag sticker on the windshield aka TxTag



But the recommended location where to mount it will directly block a sensor on the X5M. I think that is the sensor for the auto-bright headlights feature (with red arrow)







So to the Austinites who got similar sensor on their BMW, where did you mount your TXTag?

I keep mind in the glove box, and just hold it up to the window when I blast by the booths.

I really doubt you'll have issues if your toll tag is off by 3-4" from center...

Interesting. I have my tx toll tag directly in front of the mirror and I occasionally get a "high beam assist is f'd up" warning. I wonder if it's because of the tag.

It probably is, that is what I'm worried about

I decided to mount it to the sunroof and I'm glad I did because it works! No more ugly sticker on the windshield
