Do I need to turn on Bluetooth when using ETC on the road?
1 Answers
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 inside, which automatically communicates with road sensors without requiring Bluetooth to be enabled on our cars or phones. Currently, ETC is provided by 8 domestic manufacturers. Some ETC terminals can only be installed via mobile Bluetooth during setup, but Bluetooth does not need to be turned on during actual use. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is handled by a non-owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, you need a bank card for deducting highway toll fees, and the applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old, with the vehicle registered under their name. Documents required for company vehicles: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with company seal); Copy of the organization code certificate or business license (with company seal); Original ID card of the agent; Original vehicle license; 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 toll stations. Using computer networking technology, it 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: Saves time: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions as vehicles pass toll stations without stopping; Reduces wear and tear: Lowers costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, reducing wear and fuel consumption. Users can also enjoy toll discounts; Improves efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
