How long after window tinting can ETC be installed?
1 Answers
It is recommended to wait one month after applying window tint before installing the ETC device, as the tint film on the windshield typically requires a month to fully dry and cure. Installing the ETC before the film has completely dried may cause localized peeling. However, some brands of tint film may fully dry within about a week, so the actual waiting period should be determined based on the specific situation. Below is additional information: ETC installation and activation steps: 1. Attach the ETC electronic tag: Clean the windshield (the area where the tag will be placed), then peel off the adhesive backing of the ETC tag and firmly attach the device to the upper part of the windshield. 2. Insert the card: Insert the card into the tag, then remove and reinsert it twice until the screen displays "Bluetooth enabled." If the tag shows "Tag invalid" before installation, this is normal and does not affect activation. 3. Activate the tag: Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, open the mini-program, navigate to the activation page, wait for the Bluetooth connection, and finally upload photos of your vehicle. Once activation is successful, the process is complete. Note that activation methods may vary depending on the ETC card. For self-installation, refer to the device's instruction manual for specific details.
