Really, we yanked ours out of our old car and have installed it in the new one.

While I see the point of the convenience of being able to transfer the registration of a transponder, I also understand AMB's position on a transponder being a registrants "for life". Just as a Social Security number is unique to every individual, so goes a transponder.

Unless you're 'getting out', you'd have to spend the money for another transponder anyway for the next car, so what difference does it make. If you are 'getting out', then it's a cost you have to absorb like maintainance items.
