When you change your vehicle, you can't simply remove the original ETC equipment and install it on a new car. This is because the ETC system is tied to the vehicle's license plate and the owner's information, and each vehicle can only use its own ETC device. If the original ETC device is removed and installed on a new vehicle, the system will not be able to recognize the vehicle information and cannot pass the ETC lane normally.
If you want to use ETC on a new car, you need to go to the agency where you previously handled ETC to cancel it and update the vehicle information to the new one. When canceling the original ETC, you need to provide relevant supporting materials, such as the owner's ID card, vehicle driving license, etc. After logging out, you need to re-apply for a new ETC device and activate it. When requesting a new device, you will need to provide the vehicle information of the new car, such as the vehicle model, license plate number, etc.
It should be noted that when you cancel your ETC, you will need to pay a fee, which may be because you have deregistered the ETC device in use in advance. If you don't want to wait for the end of your usage period, or if you want to use ETC on your new car, then this is a necessary step. Also, if you rarely have the need to travel at high speeds, you can consider writing out your ETC. This avoids unnecessary costs and hassles. If you have already logged out of your ETC, then you will need to re-apply and activate a new ETC device when you need to use it again.
In addition to going to the institution that handled the ETC to cancel and reapply, you can also contact the ETC customer service to cancel and reapply remotely. When contacting customer service, you need to provide relevant supporting materials, such as the owner's ID card, vehicle driving license, etc. Customer service will help you through the cancellation and re-application process.
In addition, if you want to continue to use your original ETC device after replacing your vehicle, you may consider transferring your original ETC device to the new owner. When transferring, you need to bind the original ETC device to the new owner's information and update the vehicle information. This avoids unnecessary costs and hassles.
In short, when you replace your vehicle, the original ETC equipment cannot simply be removed and installed on the new car to continue to be used. You need to go to the institution that handled the ETC to cancel and reapply, or contact ETC customer service to cancel and reapply remotely. If you want to continue to use your original ETC device after replacing your vehicle, you can consider transferring your original ETC device to the new owner.
