Can ETC be installed without mounting it on the windshield?
1 Answers
ETC does not have to be installed on the windshield; it can also be mounted on the dashboard below the windshield as long as it does not obstruct the driver's view, interfere with ETC signal reception, can charge via sunlight, and the small button on the back does not pop up. However, to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that car owners install it on the front windshield. The ETC system uses automatic vehicle identification technology to establish wireless data communication between the vehicle and the toll station, enabling automatic vehicle recognition and the exchange of relevant toll data. Therefore, during installation, the sensing area must not be blocked to avoid signal reception failure.
