Where to Install ETC for a New Car?
1 Answers
ETC can be processed at bank branches, highway service areas, and other institutions. The application requires the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and driving license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card must also be provided. The photocopy of the driving license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A Postal Savings credit card application form is required, as this credit card will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and present the POS receipt to receive and install the ETC onboard device for free at designated Postal Savings outlets. No fees are charged during this process. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle in their name. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection.

Here are some considerations for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a steeply inclined windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it may increase the driver's blind spots. Install it behind the right side of the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or positions that might block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the vehicle in front due to its ETC device malfunction, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at speeds up to 20 km/h; driving too fast may result in failed fee deductions due to unreadable device information. If a debit card is used to bind the ETC, insufficient balance may also cause fee deduction failures.
