I added our rental car when we went on vacation last time. I also promptly took the rental off our account afterwards to make sure I didn't get dinged for someone else's mistake.

I think your battery might've just been getting low on the transponder and wasn't beaming the code far enough to be picked up by the reader, enhanced by speed as well.

I recently bought a new transponder for a 3 car I had just purchased. Bought it at my local Giant store. I don't recall the application asking me to give a tag number or anything car related. Just to set up auto payment via linking to credit card via online...


Have you seen the license plate scanners on police cars? They can immediately notify the officer if a car is related to a crime or stolen. The technology is there.

I can see BigFoot as a Taylor Swift fan....

Remember a few years ago, there was a viral video of a cop lip-syncing Taylor Swift's song while driving his car....
