RFID-Friendly Windscreen Layout: A Guide for Singaporean Drivers

You have your VEP RFID tag installed, your car is packed, and you're ready for your Malaysia trip. But at the gantry, the barrier doesn't lift. The culprit might not be the tag itself, but your windscreen accessories.

Think of your VEP RFID tag as having an invisible "bubble" around it. For a successful scan, this bubble needs to be free from any electronic or metallic objects. The tag is usually placed on the passenger side of your windscreen.

What to Avoid: RFID Signal Blockers

• Metallic Window Tints: These are notorious for blocking RFID signals. Opt for high-quality, non-metallic ceramic tints.
• Sunshades with Metallic Surfaces: When in use, ensure your sunshade doesn't cover the RFID tag area.
• Parking Coupons & Decals: Don't stick any paper or plastic decals over or near the RFID tag.
