UPDATE: you can now also use SunPass to pay for parking at many venues including many popular airports in Florida. Just look for SunPass logos at many airports including Orlando.
How about JFK, EWR, and LGA? I know those use New York's E-Z pass plus, which I'm not sure if it is compatible with sunpass pro EDIT: This question also goes for the Uni pass as well. I'd like to know if either one will pay for NYC Airport parking.
Update: As of 2023 SunPass PRO now works in Kansas, Oklahoma, and parts of Texas (mainly DFW)! Went down for a trip and tested it out in all three states, and it works like a charm! 🤩 This gives it a huge advantage over other toll passes since EZ-Pass and Uni by E-Pass aren't accepted in those areas yet!
i noticed the sunpass pro transponder comes with an ezpass id printed on the side. do you have to go to the ez pass website to activate it aswel?l or once its activated on the sunpass website your good?
I’m moving from Florida to Pa and prefer to keep and only use the SunPass Pro because Pa changes u a monthly fee just to have their EZPass even if u don’t use it. Florida doesn’t charge you a fee after purchase so I hope I can keep the SunPass Pro even after I title my car in Pa.
get one from new york. not only is it technically free (you pay 25 for the tag but that amount is credited to your account) but you get discounts whenever you drive there
@@samuel.fraser that’s awesome. Do you have a link for where I can order one from New York? I live in Atlanta so looking for the same versatility and perks available for the Sunpass pro. Is it essentially the same thing (ie parking and driving access to most of Southeast)? I love that money they charge you for it goes right on your account for use. Thanks!!
The crazy thing is if you look at the maps for E-Z pass and SunPass Pro, the SunPass Pro covers more states. For example, it shows E-Z Pass is not accepted in Oklahoma, but the SunPass Pro is accepted.
Just purchased one for our planned trip to Orlando. Also planning to start RV’ing and this should come in handy. I like the form factor better than the EZPass transponders.
When you buy them they show you where you should mount them. Once there its all done and there is nothing more you need to do after you set up your account.
A note regarding SunPass (any kind) for parking at venues, including airports. You must have the amount due already loaded onto your card. For example, my airport parking cost was $72, but I only preloaded $50, which wasn't enough. It's not like a credit card -- it's like a debit card.
I have one of these but I was wondering if my transponder can’t be read at the toll, would they still be able to recognize that I have an account through my license plate? My license plate is on the website so I would think so just want to make sure it would still go through in that case.
I'll wait until they offer a SunPass Pro Mini. As it is we have 4 RF ID's affixed on our cars .. you'd think by now there could be a SINGLE factory installed (built-in) RF ID so it wouldn't be so ridiculous.
You forgot to mention that when using Sun Pass Pro you save approximately 25% over the regular toll costs --- At least that's the case in Florida If I'm not mistaken. Please correct me if I'm wrong. 😊😉
Do I have to create an EZ pass account to link the sun pass pro? I updated my new pro on my sun pass account and the device also has a EZ pass ID but when I tried to create an EZ pass account it says the ID wasn’t valid. So is having it just on my sun pass account good enough to use for sun pass and EZ pass?
I have just purchased the Sunpass Pro and setup my account with the SunPass app which is associated to the FL ID on the transponder. But noticed a different E-ZPass ID as well. Do I need to bind this additional ID with an additional E-ZPass account as well? Or is my SunPass account of of the FL ID sufficient for E-ZPass as well? Answer is much appreciated.
When I contacted them about this, they said SunPass handles all the payments. As long as you activate the SunPass PRO under your account, you can use it as an EZ-Pass. No need to worry about signing up under EZ-Pass.
I just received mine in Riviere-du-loup, Québec. It says ACTIVATED (online account and i added 35$). So i guess i don't have to do anything else besides installing it under my mirror? I'm bit confused tho about the "END DATE" for inactivity? I want the device to be always activated. Thanks
So this was a long time ago, but I'll answer anyway. The end date is if you assign this transponder to a rental car, you would want to use an end date otherwise anytime those tags were photographed it might try to charge your account.
My Sunpass Pro was purchased last July and is no longer working. I can't get Sunpass to answer the phone or respond to my emails (they just close them with no resolution). They have had complaints for years and are still unresolved. I'm going to purchase an EZpass from another state.
Try the chat feature under your accounts' customer support. They're really responsive if you prefer to type out your questions/concerns rather than calling to explain.
Great video what’s the difference between using Sunpass and just letting them auto bill me via mail. Does sunpass auto recharge the account? Or is it manual?
I need help with the activation of the SunPass PRO. I already have an account and I want to add this transponder to my account. I did click on add new transponder, and the site asks for the transponder number shown at the top of the device. Well, there is a FL ID number and there is a E-ZPass ID number. Although the back of the transponder shows the FL ID number. So my question is WHICH number to I add to activate my new SunPass PRO transponder so I can use it in FL and in other states with E-ZPass?
You use the Florida ID number when you add it to your Sunpass account even when you go though an ezpass tollbooth it will show the Florida Id with the ezpass tollbooth location
Which account do you have? If you have E-pass Xtra to UNI by E-pass, no need for SunPass Pro since both transponders work in the state of Florida. But SunPass Pro has a higher advantage than E-pass cuz it has a wider network. Hope that answers your question.
@@peternguyen4042 do you know the current comparison and contrast between Sunpass Pro and whatever the easy pass equivalent is? Is regarding how many states/roads it covers? I like it if I order it from New York the $25 it cost goes right onto the transponder With the Sunpass pro it seems like there are parking perks and possibly a wider network. They are one in the same in New York offers better deal with the money going straight to your account after purchase thanks
UPDATE: you can now also use SunPass to pay for parking at many venues including many popular airports in Florida. Just look for SunPass logos at many airports including Orlando.

Even the reverse is good. If you have E-ZPass, your existing transponder will work just fine in Florida

It would have been awesome if you explained where to mount them and how they function while driving.
When you buy them they show you where you should mount them. Once there its all done and there is nothing more you need to do after you set up your account.
Citizen Tracking to the max. Tracks where you drive including 21 states. Now you can park with sun pass pro as well.

We drive I-75 through Georgia to Florida... Can we use the Sunpass Pro on the " Georgia Peach Pass express lanes" ?
It’s about time Florida added the e-z pass
I have one of these but I was wondering if my transponder can’t be read at the toll, would they still be able to recognize that I have an account through my license plate? My license plate is on the website so I would think so just want to make sure it would still go through in that case.

BTW I loathe those suction cup ugly low class looking fading cheap pieces of plastic stuck to my windows whose suction cups randomly let loose!
Thankfully you can easily hide it behind your rear view mirror. I just wish there was one that worked in every toll in the United States.

Thanks for all this information 👍
i just got one of these sun pass pros. which number set is the transponder?? it shows a fl id and a ez pass id. ?
The good review from Bruce Willis's brother..
lol
Do I need to set up a separate accountfor ez pass? besides SunPass
No. SunPass will handle all payments.
Hey! I hope your surgery went well. Thanks for the video. I have so many fees and I have the pass.
Thanks buddy :) go blue 😎
Go Blue!

No just a Sub pass account.
Thank you for the Video

@Peter Nguyen
Thank you for confirming!
Safe travels, my friend!
Who won that MI vs OSU game?
Is there any advantage to the SunPass over the E-Z Pass or are they essentially the same?
Ez pass and Epass are not the same thing? Do i still need a Epass if i habe the sunpass pro?
I just received mine in Riviere-du-loup, Québec. It says ACTIVATED (online account and i added 35$). So i guess i don't have to do anything else besides installing it under my mirror? I'm bit confused tho about the "END DATE" for inactivity? I want the device to be always activated. Thanks

I thought it was only for here in Florida. Surprise!

If I have a sunpass pro do I need to make a ez account
Great video what’s the difference between using Sunpass and just letting them auto bill me via mail. Does sunpass auto recharge the account? Or is it manual?
In most places they charge an extra fee for by the mail.
What about the one we got from OH, can that be used in FL? tia
Is it an EZ-Pass from Ohio? If that's the case, no need for SunPass PRO.
Where is the transponder number on this thing? This has to be the worst ez-pass set up I have ever encountered.
Make sure to set it up through the SunPass app or website. Not the E-ZPass site.
I need help with the activation of the SunPass PRO. I already have an account and I want to add this transponder to my account.

You use the Florida ID number when you add it to your Sunpass account even when you go though an ezpass tollbooth it will show the Florida Id with the ezpass tollbooth location
Missed you on Cord Cutter
is this better than Uni?
It's the same thing. It's been renamed to Uni. Same product, in a nutshell.
As of 2023, yes. Because now SunPass PRO can work in Kansas, Oklahoma, and parts of Texas.
Finally I think you said 13 dollars for it. After 5 minutes
You can go to the SunPass website to find current pricing.
Does this work for AutoExpresso toll roads in Puerto Rico?
I would contact SunPass for help with that question.
5:07 Wow, where is that?
Somewhat pointless video. Does Sunpass collect the money for e-pass in Florida? Do I have to create a e-pass account?
Which account do you have? If you have E-pass Xtra to UNI by E-pass, no need for SunPass Pro since both transponders work in the state of Florida. But SunPass Pro has a higher advantage than E-pass cuz it has a wider network. Hope that answers your question.

Why show European roads and not American roads?
Get to it how much is it????
14.95
Si J'ai un sunpass et un ezpass puis-je unifier les deux comptes en un seul
waste of time - was looking to see how to activate
Have you created an account, and added funds? I would try that, and from there you can activate the transponder.
worthless video. Tells us nothing about setting up or using the pass. Waste of time
This is a waste of time with no useful information.
