VEP RFID and Dash Cam Compatibility: A Guide for Singapore Drivers

Dash cams are a great way to stay safe on the road. But with more and more gadgets on our windshields, it's fair to wonder if your dash cam could interfere with your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) RFID tag.

Your VEP RFID tag is a small device that talks to the scanners at the Malaysian border. For it to work properly, it needs to be in a specific spot on your windshield, usually at the top-center, behind the rearview mirror. This helps it avoid interference from your car's metal frame and makes it easy for the scanners to read.

Not all dash cams will cause problems, but here's why some might:

• Blocking the Signal: A large dash cam can physically block the RFID signal if it's too close to the tag.
• Electronic Interference: Dash cams with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS can create signals that interfere with the RFID tag.
• Power Cables: The power cables for your dash cam can also cause interference if they're too close to the tag.

The easiest way to avoid problems is to keep your VEP RFID tag and your dash cam a good distance apart. If your tag is in the center of your windshield, try mounting your dash cam off to the side.
