What is the method for installing ETC?
2 Answers
The method for installing ETC is: 1. The ETC sensor is installed on the inside of the car's windshield, with its base fixed by a small round plastic suction cup that adheres to the windshield; 2. Apply for an ETC-specific card at the ETC service point, which is a fast-pass card with a chip installed on it; 3. The fast-pass card needs to be linked to a bank card, and money must be deposited into the ETC fast-pass card; 4. Once the sensor detects the ETC fast-pass card, the sensor's display will light up, indicating it is ready. ETC is the English abbreviation for Electronic Toll Collection, which allows vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping to queue for payment, as the system automatically recognizes and deducts the toll.
Installing ETC is super convenient. First, I applied for the OBU device online or at a bank, usually for free or with a small fee. After receiving it, clean the inside of the windshield, especially the area near the rearview mirror, to ensure it's free of dirt and grease, then firmly attach it using the included adhesive—avoid the black grid area to prevent signal interference. Activation steps involve binding a bank card through a mobile app to set up automatic payments; some brands require powering on the device, while others support solar power and don’t need charging. After installation, test it by driving on the highway to ensure successful scanning. Daily use saves the hassle of queuing for toll payments and offers discounts. Remember to secure it tightly to prevent detachment.
