Transponders are no longer issued. I still have a decal on my windshield, but I've been told I can take it off. I renewed my Sentri late last year.
I just hold the card up to the reader. My previous one worked the same way.
It used to be if you replaced your windshield you had to go in for a new decal. This is no longer necessary. Transponders haven't been issued in a
long time. Everyone should have a card with a chip by this time.

Vehicle approved today
Just wanted to update anyone curious on how long it was taking to add a second vehicle to sentri right now... Almost 4 weeks.
I added the vehicle in GOES on 3/8/16 and it was approved today.

We just had our Sentri interviews 4/1. Enrolled my car at the interview, was told that when I cross the border, I can expect to be pulled over to
secondary for vehicle inspection. Not necessarily the next time; could happen any random crossing. Stickers or transponders are no longer required.
Can't wait to NOT spend hours crossing.....

I keep track of the dates when I get sent into secondary inspection. It turns out that it's about once in two years. I'm always told I've been
randomly selected by the computer. Last time I waited almost an hour to clear secondary. There were a lot of Sentri vehicles waiting for inspection
and not too many inspectors.
You don't want to get caught with anything illegal. Know the rules, especially concerning alcohol, and declare anything that is legal to cross, even
if it means paying duty.

On the main GOES screen, click "Manage Membership" to go to the next screen to add a vehicle. There, click on the "US Programs" pull down menu and
select "Add Vehicle" or "Remove Vehicle" as you wish.

The computer system allows you to identify vehicles registered in Mexico, so I assume you can.

Waiting 6+ Weeks So Far
I had my SENTRI pass, and removed a vehicle then added a new one that I just bought. I submitted May 16th, and still haven't been approved. I've
called multiple times, but they say there is nothing they can do and that the application is "processed in Washington". This is extremely frustrating.
Anyone know how I can get my application pushed through faster? What does it take 6 weeks for? Especially since they aren't actually inspecting it
until I drive across the first time.
Just thought I would share how long it might take. The lady on the phone even slipped saying "up to 12 weeks currently". I'm guessing whoever does the
approvals is on a long vacation.

I submitted a third vehicle application on May 3rd. I spoke to Otay Mesa SENTRI this week, and based on the timing info I was given I suspect it will
take another couple of weeks for me.

I think it's just a roll of the dice when it comes to how long it will take. Hopefully it will not be much longer

DHS is busy these days, San Bernadino, Orlando, etc. Perhaps employees who process SENTRI passes have been reassigned to more important tasks. 4th of
July coming up, keep your fingers crossed all goes well.

12 weeks and STILL waiting
I submitted my application for a new vehicle to my Sentri account at the end of April and it is still shows as "pending review." I called the Sentri
office in SY earlier this month and they said it was taking longer than usual due to a rash of new Sentri applications and that reapplications for
Sentri are taking the longest - up to 6 months from the date of submission. Very frustrating!

And of course, almost as soon I post this note... I am now as of today approved! I also got the "your Sentri application has been approved" letter so
it sounds like starting tomorrow I can start to bring the new car along. But man, 12 weeks?
