How to Install and Activate ETC?
2 Answers
ETC installation and activation method: 1. After purchasing the device, you will receive a SpeedPass card and a sensor resembling a pager; 2. The back of the sensor is for adhesive attachment—do not activate the device before attaching it; 3. Simply peel off the adhesive backing and stick it to the right side of the rearview mirror on the front windshield; 4. Once installed, the sensor cannot be removed arbitrarily—if detached, it will require a reset before reuse; 5. Open the WeChat 'Lesutong ETC' mini-program, enter your phone number, click 'Activate Device,' and follow the prompts to complete activation.
I got my ETC directly at the bank, and the whole process took just ten minutes. The staff helped stick the device on the black dotted area behind the rearview mirror on the windshield, which ensures both unobstructed visibility and smooth signal reception. Here's the key point: Make sure to clean the glass thoroughly before sticking it, preferably using the included alcohol wipe to remove any grease, otherwise it might fall off due to bumps on the highway. To activate, just insert the card until you hear a 'beep,' connect your phone's Bluetooth to the ETC device, and follow the prompts in the app to take photos of your vehicle license for verification. It's recommended to do this before 3 PM when sunlight is sufficient for faster solar charging and activation. After setup, remember to take a test drive on the highway—if the toll station shows 'tag detached,' simply reinsert the card to resolve it.
