There’s now an alternative way to have a Touch ‘n Go RFID tag fitted to your car, as the company will begin selling self-fitment kits on Lazada and Shopee for RM35 (the same price as at fitment centres), beginning May 16, 2020.
“Safety is our priority. We’ve introduced a DIY kit to bring further convenience as we understand that people will want to move safer in the comfort of their car,” said Syahrunizam Samsudin,” chief executive officer of Touch ‘n Go.
With the kit, you won’t need to head to a fitment centre to get an RFID tag installed and activated, as you can now do all that at home if you prefer to minimise contact with the outside world due to Covid-19. The kit includes step-by-step instructions on how to install and activate the RFID tag, and the company has also released a video for reference.
The process simply involves cleaning the surface of your car’s upper left windscreen or left headlamp applying sticking the tag. Do keep in mind that there are problems with reading RFID signals through metallised window film (the stickers work fine with regular tints), so if your car is tinted with such films, it’s best to apply it to the headlamp instead.
Once fitted, users will need to register an account on TnG’s Mobility Experience platform, which will require the insertion of the RFID tag number and vehicle details. From there, simply link the RFID tag to your TnG eWallet account and you should receive an activation SMS within 24 hours, indicating it is ready for use.

Went to tesco gombak to install, awek comel weh
I can understand if I’m buying a device like Smart Tag. But the RFID sticker should be given free if meets requirements (i.e. first time request for vehicle)
Another conjob by our GLC based company. Anything to rip off the rakyat to support their lazy unproductive revenue.
Back then they even jacked-up the price of Smart Tag device. What make you think they’ll give those cheap magnetic-plastic for free :-P (unless it’s a promo to get enough people into using the system)
They had been giving free for over a year. Where were you then, in a cave?
RFID on PLUS hiway is now on?
Just leave the sticker at the card, wind down window and with the card with in hand, point it to the scanner.
Then, you can take it to different cars, no need stuck to one car.
you confirm this works?
As above. SMH
only in malaysia, you are forced to buy their expensive gadgets which supposedly make it convenient for you, and then remove any options to pay in cash.
same goes for the tng parking, only allow tng card usage but still want charge you a fee to use it.
Rather pointless at this time. Not widespread enough.
I will use when they figure out how to link smartag/touch card together in the same account.
I have 2 cars, and sometimes drive other company cars. Damn mah fan if need to print different and separate statements up. With touch/smartag I just bring the card/device when I change cars.
Instead of this, when are they going to abolish TnG card expiry problem? Now tolls are all cashless. I kinda forgot my card expired after being in MCO for 2 months. I was surprised to find that out while trying to pass LDP. Luckily I had always had balance in my NRIC TnG.
Time to abolish card expiration and introduce yearly RM1 or RM2 annual fees. Get rid of the hassle of transferring remaining credit in expired card.
Expiring cards is a technical limitation not an administrative problem. Even the battery in your smartphone expires one day. Nothing last forever.
why need annual fees? do we have an option to pay in cash in the first place?
Self installation…great.
diorang kasih with install with testing also stuck….I foresee more get stuck in the RFID lane.
I bought a RFID sticker but was unable to activate the RFID using my phone TNG App .because the code whether scan or entered manually in the TNG App response with invalid code. Please advise.
Thank you
