Speed cam can use eyes to see, as for bus lane hours, every driver should already know what the timing is by heart.

Normal bus lanes (only weekdays)
7.30am - 9.30am
5pm - 8pm

Full day bus lanes (mon to sat)
7.30am - 11pm

When it gets a little warm, the touchscreen feature stops working, which is pointless. For example, driving under hot day for awhile. will only work after restarting. So, even with a free parking coupon, you may still need to pull out your card.

some workshop provide the mounting casing for the OBU screen to install at the top of the windscreen. check shopee.

I find the OBU very tight and my fingers are not as nimble now. It was much easier to remove the card in the old system. For the OBU, I definitely need way more than 1 sec.

actually i thought its bad, until i tried it.

actually not that bad lah. even my fat fingers can get it done. plus the ezlink card not say very fragile, can take a certain amount of bending.

but i've always got a tiny passenger beside me who is always very sweet, enthusiastic and chirpy about helping me with small mundane stuff like these.

makes life easier.

just tell ur SE.

make sure to tell ur SE exactly where to install and all accompanying instructions.

DO NOT INSTALL THE STUPID SCREEN!!!

but on handover day, they will give u the separated screen anyway.

 

[rachoon]

My workshop installed the cash card under the compartment. Haa

 

[Justbear]

DON'T INSTALL THE SCREEN!!!!!!!!

that's my only advice to u.

better install the screen, else you be bombard with loud noise. no way to off sound from app also

 

[ghregular]

according to this video
the screen can be adjusted down when not needed
is it true?

The screen will show you number of parking lots available when you are near shopping malls (like one junction away). I find this information helpful.

where ur workshop? thinking of relocating and disabling the sound.

i can tune out the beeping in my head. but my wife does find it annoying.

yes true.

but why would u need the screen in the first place? dun install it and ur windscreen and eyes will thank u for it.

somemore if u dun install the screen, and u got OCD to MUST ALWAYS monitor the remaining balance, there's always the Breeze app or the ERP2.0 app.

get workshop plug in the screen, disable the sound first then remove the screen.

settled.

else u tune out the beeps with ur brain.

 

[coyote]

only via app cannot disable.

Oh I see. So it's those act smart people decided not to install the screen and thus complaining ...ok, so I will tell them to install the screen also. Thanks. Mine is 23 May with Borneo motor...

almost all cars wld hv AV inbuilt car set so i was wondering if the obu can integrate with car AV set?

the installer can plug in the screen, start the engine, disable the sound, THEN turn off engine, pull screen out.

settled.

the screen isn't overly complicated. just 1 purple coloured BNC connector only.

So, I can ask them to install the screen first. Then if I'm not happy, can suka suka remove the screen also, right? Just leave a holder on the windscreen correct?

my apple carplay can't mirror screen to my car, so i can't display that ugly ass ERP2.0 app screen to my display.

i wouldn't want it to be displayed anyway since i hardly use it to the point where it auto uninstalled on my iPhone.

the holder may damage ur window film.

yes u can. but i dun wanna go through that hassle, so i just tell my SE off the bat "don't install screen!!" on my new car.

reminded him 3 times abt it in fact.
