2 Apr 2024 - Replacement of In-Vehicle Unit (IU) with a new On-Board Unit (OBU)

My car is due for servicing and before sending it to the service center this morning, we had breakfast at McDonalds along Queensway.  This outlet is unique because it's housed within a beautifully landscaped Japanese-themed garden complete with bonsai trees, a tortoise pond, and calming pathways. 
Not sure if you are aware, all cars registered before 1st May 2024 will need to install a new On-Board Unit (OBU) to replace the existing In-Vehicle Unit (IU) in the coming months.  However, we can choose to do the installation during our servicing instead of waiting for the official notice.  As such, I agreed to proceed with the installation.  One thing to be mindful of is that the new OBU does not support most credit cards and cashcards.  Even for CEPAS cards, it is only a few specific ones.  When I collected my car, none of my cards worked.  As such, I had to find alternate route to drive home without having to pass through any ERP.  The cards that are supported are NETS Flashpay Card and NETS/Ez-Link Motoring Card, which I bought one from 7-eleven.
