Real-User Troubleshooting: RFID Tag Read Failures & How They Solved Them

Learn from the experiences of other Singaporean drivers and avoid common VEP pitfalls.

The VEP RFID system is designed for seamless border crossings, but sometimes, things don't go as planned. An "RFID Not Detected" or "Tag Not Read" error can be frustrating. While we provide comprehensive guides, sometimes hearing about real-world scenarios and their solutions can be even more helpful.

Problem: Mr. Tan, a frequent traveller to JB, started experiencing intermittent "RFID Not Detected" errors after installing a new, larger dashcam. His tag was professionally installed, and his eWallet was always topped up.

Problem: Ms. Lim hadn't driven to Malaysia in over a year. Her VEP was still valid, and her eWallet had funds. However, her RFID tag consistently failed to scan, showing an "RFID Not Detected" error.

Problem: Mr. Wong had a new car with a very high-quality, dark solar tint. His VEP RFID tag would scan sometimes, but often failed, especially in bright sunlight or rain.

Problem: Ms. Devi's RFID tag consistently failed to open the gantry, even though she was sure her VEP was active. The error message was "Insufficient Balance."

These stories highlight that VEP RFID issues often have simple, identifiable causes. The key is accurate diagnosis and a correct solution.
