Found your ETC device unresponsive after windshield replacement? Don't worry - reactivation is easier than initial setup! First, firmly reattach the device near the rearview mirror (avoid black dotted areas). Key point: Activation methods vary by ETC type! For rural commercial bank-issued ETCs: 1) Enable phone Bluetooth 2) Open WeChat mini-program 3) Press the device's back button until red light flashes - the program will auto-detect it. For Alipay ETC: Search "ETC service" in Alipay app and follow Bluetooth instructions. Important! Some older models require 1-hour sunlight charging before activation. If failed, restart phone Bluetooth and retry. Never remove the device during the process!
