ETC tag disassembly means that the device is currently unavailable and needs to be reinstalled and reactivated at the original processing point or any highway ETC service office. Most ETC devices display tag disassembly because users disassemble the ETC device to replace the battery. The anti-disassembly guide rod on the back of the ETC electronic tag is actually a reset button switch. When the button pops out, the information inside the ETC device will disappear, requiring reactivation to input the information. You can try the ETC self-service activation method. ETC is an electronic toll collection system that allows vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping. The ETC dedicated lane is for vehicles equipped with an ETC on-board unit, using electronic toll collection to achieve a fully automatic electronic toll system without the need for toll booths or stopping.

Is it possible not to install ETC?

It is possible not to install ETC. According to Article 19 of the "Notice on Vigorously Promoting the Development and Application of ETC on Highways" issued by the State Council, starting from 2020, vehicles without ETC will not enjoy toll discounts. In the future, only one manual lane will be retained at highway toll stations, and tolls can only be paid through manual channels. Additionally, newly installed ETC devices cannot be used on highways immediately; they need to be activated before normal use. During free holiday periods, vehicles with ETC can still use the highways, and for users who have already installed ETC, passing through ETC lanes will not incur charges. ETC Deduction Principles: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks, the system achieves the purpose of vehicles not needing to stop at toll stations to pay fees. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, reducing wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: Theoretically, ETC lanes can increase vehicle throughput efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC updates faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation smart cards in key city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will significantly increase." It also explicitly set the goal in the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development indicators that "by 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles will reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and increasing the ETC usage rate for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote ETC usage for trucks in the future. The integration of ETC systems with vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, and other smart transportation development directions will be explored to provide comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC applications.
