The Town Ace van I purchased recently didn’t have an ETC installed.
It’s unthinkable not to have an ETC these days. There are only disadvantages.
So I ended up choosing a car ETC for the first time in over a decade.
Unlike motorcycles, there are many manufacturers to choose from, and it’s completely different, so I was troubled.
After narrowing down my options, Panasonic and Pioneer remained as candidates.
Ultimately, “Panasonic ETC2.0 In-Vehicle Device CY-ET2620GD”
Even though about 10 years have passed, there hasn’t been much progress. . . . . .
That said, it’s convenient that you can buy a car on Amazon and register the ETC at a setup shop.
*With motorcycles, you can’t buy the unit unless it’s from an authorized dealer

Simply put! Three essential items: “ETC2.0/voice guidance/new security”
Products that sell in large numbers are always reliable.
“High sales volume = various issues are identified and addressed” is the pattern.
Since it’s been 10 years since I last chose an ETC, I researched to see if there were major changes,
“If you don’t link it with a navigation system, there aren’t major changes”
So, the three essential items are “ETC2.0/voice guidance/new security” If these are met,
the rest is just about choosing a best-selling product, price, and design.
ETC 2.0offers slightly better rates if you’re getting on and off repeatedly.
*Just by choosing the device, you get savings, so ETC2.0 is definitely the right choice
New security is necessary going forward, so this is absolutely essential
*Older standards may become unusable in the future, so “new standards are essential”
ETC with voice guidance
*It notifies you of card issues and highway tolls, so it’s surprisingly convenient.
Pioneer and Panasonic have only a slight price difference
You wouldn’t really look at an ETC unit and think it’s cool or uncool.
Why I chose Panasonic is
the design is somewhat better and the antenna with voice guidance = should be somewhat easier to hear
Panasonic’s product explanations are clear and easy to understand

Looking at their homepage, the necessary information comes into your head right away.
This kind of website design is really important—I truly want to learn from it.
To be honest, “there’s nothing new about it”
Simply put, it’s a toll collection system, so there’s nothing new about it.
As a user, I just want ETC 2.0 and mileage programs to save me money.
Honestly, I don’t expect anything from the ETC.
Unless something major changes or breaks, it’ll just stay installed.
I wrote this simply, but honestly, choosing this ETC took about 2 hours.
These days, purchasing is easy, so you need to study carefully to avoid regretting your purchase after buying.
That said, after researching various options, I found there weren’t major changes, so I felt somewhat relieved.
I was a bit surprised that navigation-linked models cost 2 to 2.5 times more.
So when you acquire something new (a car),
there are more things you need to think about.
Since I purchased a new ETC, after delivery, I’ll need to install it myself and go for setup.
With this kind of electrical component, you really want to install it yourself.
If you’re looking for a simple ETC, I think this is actually pretty good.
