Upgrade to RFID: say goodbye to SmartTAG hassles in Malaysia

If you're a frequent highway user in Malaysia, you've likely experienced the occasional frustration with your SmartTAG. From low battery warnings to the tedious task of aligning it just right, the SmartTAG, while revolutionary in its time, has its share of challenges. Enter RFID—a more efficient, seamless way to handle toll payments that’s quickly becoming the preferred choice for many Malaysians.

Why Upgrade to RFID?

1. Seamless Experience: With RFID, there's no need to worry about replacing batteries or holding your device at a specific angle. The RFID sticker is affixed to your car's windshield, and it automatically scans as you pass through tolls.

2. Future-Proofing: As Malaysia continues to develop its toll infrastructure, RFID is the future. The government is gradually phasing out SmartTAG lanes, and RFID is being integrated into newer systems nationwide.

3. Cost-Effective: Unlike SmartTAG devices that require periodic battery replacements, the RFID sticker is a one-time installation that doesn't require any maintenance.

4. Greater Convenience: The RFID system offers better lane integration at toll plazas, reducing congestion and wait times. Additionally, the RFID sticker is tamper-proof and less prone to damage compared to the handheld SmartTAG device.

How to Upgrade?

1. Purchase the RFID Kit: You can buy an RFID kit online or at various retail outlets across Malaysia. The kit typically includes an RFID sticker and detailed instructions for installation.

2. Install the RFID Sticker: Follow the instructions provided with the kit to install the sticker on your vehicle's windshield. Ensure it's placed correctly for optimal scanning.

3. Register Online: Once installed, you’ll need to register your RFID on the Touch 'n Go eWallet app or website. Link your account to ensure smooth toll payments.

4. Start Using RFID: After registration, your RFID is ready to use. Just drive through the RFID lanes, and toll charges will be automatically deducted from your linked eWallet.

Upgrading from SmartTAG to RFID is not just about keeping up with technology; it’s about embracing a smoother, hassle-free experience on Malaysia's highways. With RFID becoming the standard, making the switch now ensures you stay ahead of the curve while enjoying a more convenient toll payment process.

So why wait? Upgrade to RFID today and say goodbye to the outdated SmartTAG struggles!
