2016 Cayenne & French Tele-Peage
Discussion
We bought a 2016 Cayenne S Diesel last week and drove down to South of France Friday/Saturday. Great drive and really impressed with the car.
As we travel to France a lot we have a Tele-Peage account, so no need to take tickets etc., on the Autoroutes. However, at the first Peage we hit a problem with the "transponder" not working. The unit had been working fine in June, so we thought maybe it had packed up. Saturday found a "Vinci" office open and changed the unit, but problem still there. Only works if you hold the transponder out of the window.
Wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Porsche UK have advised that we have a heated screen and that there is an area below the rear view mirror specifically for this purpose. Hissing with rain here at the moment but as soon as it stops will check it out.
Car is the big brother for the 993 2s I keep here.

UPDATE: Finally been up to the autoroute and tried the transponder in the marked area below rear view mirror and seems to work fine, but as already advised, car needs to be very close to the barrier. May still call in to Porsche Antibes and see what they suggest.
Not yet tried the 30 kms rolling Peage

Have now been able to try in the 30 kms rolling lane and seems to work, but as already said gets pretty close to the barrier before beeping.
Thanks to all for the comments.
Out of interest does anyone use a trickle charger on their Cayenne ? We are going to be away for around 4 weeks and don't want to get back to a flat battery. I already have the Porsche battery conditioner with cigar lighter fitting for my 993 but not sure if this will work in the Cayenne.
