Nearly five years on from the introduction of Lokatag in 2019, Amtel, the company behind the brand has launched Lokatag Pro, an upgraded version of the built-in Touch ‘n Go card reader in the fashion of the SmartTag device that most Malaysian motorists would be familiar with, now including an expanded feature set.
Retailing at RM1,799 with pre-orders for the device now being taken for delivery in March, the Lokatag Pro will join the base Lokatag device that continues to be available to purchase, such as via the Lokatag online store on Shopee as well as through authorised dealers.
Building upon the functionality of the base Lokatag, the Lokatag Pro is a built-in toll card reader with added connected functions and integrates a dashcam, which Amtel says is the first of its kind on the Malaysian market.
The Lokatag Pro toll reader employs infrared technology from Efkon and supports both traditional and new NFC-enabled Touch ‘n Go cards, continuing to offer the same basic functionality of using SmartTag lanes at highway toll plazas.
Added to these are GPS tracking, real-time alerts, cloud remote control access as well as over-the-air updates through the Loka App, which enables tracking of passage through SmartTag gantries, including toll fares paid. Also included in the Lokatag Pro is the AI voice prompt feature, offering real-time updates on Touch ‘n Go card balance, in Bahasa Melayu, English and Mandarin.
The integrated dashcam-equipped Lokatag Pro gets built-in sensors and a monitoring system which geo-tags locations where incidents are detected, for evidence collection purposes, as well as alerting the user to suspicious activity near the vehicle.
For Lokatag overall, the company aims to gain 500,000 users in the coming three years, said group CEO of Amtel Holdings Chester Koid. For its integrated toll card reader system, more than 800,000 units of the built-in system have been delivered in vehicles across eight manufacturers so far, according to the company.
The Lokatag Pro is available for pre-order at RM1,799, and deliveries of the devices are scheduled for March this year.

Crazy price tag….
A good dashcam + Smarttag reader also don’t need to cost RM 1.8k. Who will be waterfish?
That’s pricier than 3 channels dashcam with 4K front + 2K rear + 1K interior cameras, complete with GPS logger, dual-band WiFi connectivity, voice control, CPL filter, HDR capability on all cams, IR capability for interior cam, high quality video footage processing, from reputable brand with countless positive reviews worldwide.
Lokatag…No, thanks
i have a maxtag and a a400 f+r cam; total around 750rm incl installation and integration.. though i still am salty to pay rm200 just to pay dangshs tolls faster. crazy we pay extra to pay more tolls and sit thru jam
A500s * wt hardware kit
There’s nothing AI about the voice prompt. Don’t la everything also call AI.
What’s the point of this when in less than 2 years’ time, with MLFF, this will be of no use anymore besides being an expensive mediocre dashcam?

Don’t be too certain as that crony is now in hot water.
Quite cheap…I will buy 2
RM1799-RM35rfid = RM1764 thats the budget can spare for one good 4k action dash cam
If rfid is reliable, smarttag won’t still be here.
People already pissed off for having fork out money to pay to never ending toll concessions. Here, they want us to spend even more money to buy expensive equipment to pay toll.
MLFF/ANPR is going to finish off RFID yet this fella still obsessed with TnG (facepalm)
Really…RM1.7K for a dash cam and a Smart Tag built ini. If the Smart Tag mulfuntions like they always do, you only get a overpriced dash cam. I know Malaysian are rich lar but not stupid wor.
Really? I wonder who will want to buy at RM1,799?
“they” want to track where we go!!
anyway whats the point of paying 1799 for this device when one reaches toll booths one still has to crawl through at 20km/h??
