LTA advised motorists who experience issues with their OBUs to return to the workshops that installed the units. This is because those workshops would have the necessary records “for more effective troubleshooting”.

“In a small number of cases where more specialised attention is needed, the workshop may refer motorists to another workshop with the relevant expertise,” the authority added.

means some workshop dont know what they are doing?
one mistake LTA made was to allow outside workshop to install OBU.... and what those workshop did was mess up the wiring and electronics of the vehicle, especially those cars that are still under car manufacturer warranty.
AD can reject warranty claim for whatever mess outside workshop did and then everyone make big big hoohaa.

That is prolly why LTA say go find workshop yourselves. they dun wanna kenna this type of issues.

but no choice, 1 million cars in just a few years, ADs alone cannot handle la. that's why get outside workshop to help.

Best is to have the obu installed at AD imo

Deadline is end of 2025, but I can’t even be bothered to go change the new OBU

So many issues

The original one is slim, compact, fuss free no issues, just does what it’s supposed to do

2% rate of failure within less than one year they can accept.

If a car's brake fails 2% of the time you see what happens...

Have encountered so many times the stupid OBU failed to read since the installation back in Oct 2024.

The number of failures in this short few month is more than the total number of times i have encountered with the old IU since 1998.

SimplyGo can U-turn is bcoz it affects the PG , boomers and poor....those are the biggest group of pap voters.
they just let the upgrades done unknowingly…
meaning when the old card expires, people will be forced to change to the new card, whether they like it or not…

obu seems to be rushed and equipment seems to be not tested thoroughly before roll out to public…
some heads need to roll…
