How to install a car ETC?
2 Answers
Car ETC needs to be installed by professional staff. The ETC should be affixed to the middle of the front windshield, directly behind the rearview mirror inside the car, to prevent obstructing the driver's view. The installation position of the ETC must not block the solar panel, as the electronic tag consumes power. However, it does not need to be charged during normal use because the ETC comes with a built-in solar panel, which automatically charges as long as there is sunlight. After installing the ETC, the owner must not remove it arbitrarily, as the electronic tag will become invalid if the ETC is removed. There is an anti-removal mark on the back of the ETC. If the ETC is accidentally removed, the owner must go to the customer service center to have it reactivated by staff. Otherwise, the ETC will not work the next time the car passes through an ETC toll lane.
I just installed an ETC, and going directly to the bank is the most hassle-free option. Bring your ID card, vehicle license, and bank card, and fill out an application form on-site. The staff will help you install the OBU device on the black area near the rearview mirror on the windshield—just make sure not to block the solar charging panel. The key is to firmly press the anti-tamper button; if it's misaligned, it may malfunction. After installation, don’t rush off—test whether it can be detected using the staff’s phone and activate the device. The advantage of getting it installed at the bank is that you can return anytime if there’s an issue, and you don’t need to prepay a deposit.
