Do I need to turn on Bluetooth when using ETC?

[ElizaFitz]

When using ETC on highways, there is no need to turn on the car's Bluetooth or mobile phone Bluetooth. The ETC junction box installed in our vehicles has a short-range communication response system that automatically communicates with sensors on the road, so neither the car nor the phone needs Bluetooth enabled. ETC is currently provided by 8 domestic manufacturers, and some ETC terminals can only be installed via mobile Bluetooth during setup, but Bluetooth is not required during actual use. ETC is the abbreviation for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the following documents are required: the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not made by the owner, a valid ID card of the agent is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp; a bank card for deducting highway tolls; the applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old; and the vehicle must be registered under an individual's name. Documents required for a company-owned vehicle: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with company seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with company seal); original ID card of the agent; original vehicle registration certificate; and the vehicle that needs ETC installation. How ETC works: The vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. Using computer networking technology, the system settles payments with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Avoid the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon solution, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions; Cost-saving: Reduces vehicle startup and braking frequency, minimizing wear and fuel consumption, and users can enjoy toll discounts; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and higher-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
