How to correctly install the card on ETC?

Correct installation method for ETC card: Face the front of the ETC card towards the driver, with the back of the card facing the front windshield, and insert the chip part into the OBU device. ETC activation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice in succession until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth is on". If "Tag invalid" appears when inserting and removing twice without attaching the electronic tag, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, you can directly press the button on top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. Turn on the mobile phone's Bluetooth, open the corresponding mobile APP (usually there is a download QR code on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. Click on device connection and wait patiently for the "Connection successful" prompt. After successful connection, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation.

Installing an ETC card is really simple, though it took me a few tries to get it right. Before installation, first find a clean cloth to wipe the inside of the windshield to remove dust and grease for better adhesion. Then take out the ETC device, peel off the adhesive backing, and firmly stick it to the windshield, choosing a spot near the rearview mirror that doesn’t obstruct your view. Next, take out your card, check the front logo to ensure it’s not inserted backward—most brands require the chip to face the device when inserting. A beep or a light indicates successful activation. Test it at a toll station afterward to confirm it works smoothly. Be careful not to release the card halfway, as it may fall out and cause payment failure—I made this mistake at first. Now, I check every three months to ensure the card is securely inserted to avoid issues. Though the steps are few, none of the key ones should be skipped.

When installing ETC, the key is not to compromise driving safety. I carefully chose the location, placing it in the upper-middle area of the windshield—secure and out of the line of sight. First, clean the adhesive area, then place the device firmly and insert the card, ensuring it aligns with the slot and pushing until you hear a click. Test it at a toll station to ensure smooth operation; otherwise, the card might not be inserted properly or the device could be faulty. Safe driving comes first—improper installation could lead to the device falling off, which is dangerous. Try installing it yourself first; if it doesn’t work, seek help from a service station for a hassle-free solution.

What to do if the card is not installed correctly? I've tried the wrong direction or not inserting it fully, then reinserting the card after checking the chip side. Clean the dust from the device interface and insert it firmly into place. If it still doesn't work at the station, the card might be damaged or there could be a device issue. Quickly check if the installation position is unstable. This kind of problem is not hard to solve.

The first step in installing an ETC card is to clean the windshield, then firmly attach the device. When inserting the card, align it with the slot, usually with the icon facing outward, and push it in until you feel it click into place. Turn it on and check if the indicator light is on. The process is quick and can be completed in two minutes.

Installing an ETC card is a piece of cake. I always place the device in an open area on the windshield, making sure to insert the card in the correct direction until I hear a click. The most important thing is to test the toll collection to ensure it works smoothly, and to secure the card firmly to prevent loosening. Regularly check to avoid any looseness that might affect passage, ensuring efficient and safe long-term use.
