E-TAGS!!! Where the hell do you put one in the Octavia RS???

That's not the case for NSW and the etag. I have 4 tags including 2 old ones.

Cheers Guys.
, I still have the huge beige old style ones.

Exactly the style I have (the old RTA one), an oldie but a goodie! The sound they make when the money leaves your account is a bit more pleasant than the newer style.
I had the same dilemma when I fitted mine. I put it in a similar place as HPRS230, but not on the dots (I didn't want to rip/scrape the dots off if I ever have to remove the bracket). So, it's basically just below the corner of the dot area. When in the driver's seat, the rear view mirror obscures the tag nicely!
Try sticking the tag up temporarily with some duct tape and see if the position works for you.

To get a replacement etag you need to hand in your old one here in NSW unless of course you are happy to keep the old one and be out of pocket the $40 security deposit that you pay for each etag.

Back when we had our MKII RS the wife would drive over the Gateway in Brissie everyday (while I went the opposite down the Logan tollway!) with the tag in the middle top compartment of the dashboard. Both old and new style and never had a drama with it not working. Doesn't help you, but brought back memories of our RS.. which I handed down to my folks and they love it!

Was way too busy to look into this on the weekend. First thing is to get our old etag transferred to the new car.

Then I'll order a new more compact one.

I miss that centre compartment, keep going to put things in there. And yes the etag for Melb also worked sitting in there.

In NSW you dont have to pay $40 deposit for each new tag.

I applied two tags and received them without paying any deposit, for free. Also I did not have to hand in the old one to get the new ones. I think you can report lost to get the tag ID wipe in their system.

Where did you get your etags? Roads and Maritime Services NSW charge a security deposit unless it is a replacement for one you have already paid the security deposit on. Sure, you don't have to hand your old one in if you have 'lost it' but what good is it to anyone because you can't use it!

Mine is still the original $40 deposit. I have 3 tags now including the oroginal one. There is no $120 deposit.

I did not report lost, the battery is gone in the original tag so I ordered anther two tags. There was no requirement to hand in the old one or pay deposit for each new tags.

I stand corrected on additional security deposit for 2nd and 3rd etags it is $40 security deposit for the first Tag and deposit waived for 2nd and 3rd. Thanks for the correction there!
