3 Answers
The steps to turn on Bluetooth in a car with ETC installed are: 1. Press the electronic tag button to activate the electronic tag's Bluetooth; 2. Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively to activate the ETC device's Bluetooth. A successful activation is indicated by the Bluetooth switch indicator light on the ETC electronic tag flashing or staying on for about 2 minutes; 3. Turn on the Bluetooth on your phone and open the Yue Tong Bao applet. Please download the corresponding mobile app based on the brand of the electronic tag, usually indicated by a QR code on the electronic tag; 4. Enter the device activation interface, click on device connection, and select the device model you need to connect to. Wait patiently for the connection success prompt. Once connected, follow the prompts to verify and start normal usage.
When installing an ETC device in the car, turning on Bluetooth actually has nothing to do with it. As an ordinary person who drives every day, connecting Bluetooth is simple: start the engine, then tap the settings icon on the center console screen. Scroll down to find the Bluetooth option and slide the switch to the "On" position. Take out your phone, turn on Bluetooth, search for the vehicle name like "My Car Audio", tap to pair, and enter the password 0000 to complete the setup. Once connected, you can play music or use hands-free calls, which is especially practical. The ETC system is for toll lanes and is a standalone sensing device that doesn’t require Bluetooth. The whole process takes less than two minutes—just try it and you’ll get the hang of it. Remember to explore the screen functions for more fun.
I'm quite a car tech enthusiast and very familiar with Bluetooth setup. After starting the vehicle, touch the main menu on the center console screen, navigate to the "Connections" section, and find the Bluetooth switch to activate it. At this point, pairing mode initiates, and your car's name will appear in the phone's Bluetooth list; select it, and the password is usually 1234 or left blank. Once successfully connected, it supports audio streaming and voice control. The ETC device independently uses RFID technology and doesn't interact with Bluetooth, so there's no need to worry when it's activated. Different car systems may have minor variations—Mercedes and BMW might require additional steps, so checking the manual is safer. A stable Bluetooth connection enhances driving pleasure, and it's advisable to regularly check for software updates to avoid disconnections.
