What to Do with ETC When Selling a Car?
1 Answers
If you sell your car but keep the original license plate number, you can remove the ETC device from the original car, reactivate it once, and then install it in the new car for continued use. If you no longer need the license plate number, the original ETC must be canceled. To cancel the ETC, you need to bring the vehicle registration certificate, driver's license, ID card, ETC pass card, and the bank card used for ETC. The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check whether the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly turn on. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid, Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield to ensure the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the protective film on the back of the OBU adhesive and stick it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield. The chip should be inserted into the OBU device. 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; Cost-saving: Reduces expenses, decreases the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowers wear and fuel consumption, and users can also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: The ETC lane can theoretically increase vehicle passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
