Guest Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 The ETC system ( Japanese Electronic Toll Collector) is a waste of space and electric, and that Japanese voice that forces itself into your space everytime you start the van, has to be removed, but how?

PaulE Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Hi, if you manage to re use the 12v supply can you let us know how you did it- I thought of using it to power my dashcam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the ETC wiring through the ignition switch ? I cannot see the sense in it being live 24/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ETC system is live when the ignition is on, so it is wastetful whatever the draw! Edited April 6, 2022 by AlphaMZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She tells you the day/date when you first start the car that day, except for when she wishes you a Merry Christmas / Happy New Year on those days Edited April 26, 2022 by calimba 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how to get all the other announcements?? i love it, its a cool quirk that all jap cars have. everyone that gets in the van and hears it and wishes their cars did the same I find the shouting when parking amusing if i say so myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
