Our expertise at your service

Our state-of-the-art facilities and skilled technicians are ready to serve your Škoda at its finest. You may also opt to install the Processing Unit, Antenna and a Touchscreen Display; or just the processing of a mobile application downloaded to a smartphone.

Quick checklist

✓ Eligible vehicles include most Singapore-registered vehicles, except for certain exceptions.

✓ Ensure your Škoda is not on a short-term COE or under special schemes to qualify for a free OBU.

✓ Classic or vintage Škoda vehicles may opt for an OBU if preferred.

Choosing your OBU configuration

Antenna
  • Communicates with the satellite system and carpark gantries.
  • Mounted on the windscreen.
Processing Unit
  • Processes all payment-related transactions, and is where the valid CEPAS card should be inserted.
  • The exact placement of the OBU processing unit depends on your vehicle's type and interior design. Possible locations include the front passenger footwell, under the glovebox, the driver’s area, or beneath the driver’s seat. Our service advisors will assess your vehicle model and advise on the feasible installation options.
  • Please note that certain areas may not be suitable for installation due to vehicle design or airbag placement. If there are no restrictions, we will follow the Land Transport Authority’s (LTA) recommended location—the front passenger footwell.
Touchscreen Display (highly recommended to install, though it is optional)
  • Allows motorists to control the volume of OBU alerts.
  • Notifies motorists about ERP and payment info, and provides real-time road and traffic updates.
  • Allows motorists to temporarily disable card payments, for complimentary parking.
  • In future, the Touchscreen Display also enables motorists to pay for usage licenses such as for off-peak cars, classic/vintage vehicles, tolls at existing Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints, and roadside parking.
  • Displays information in an easy-to-read graphical or numerical format, with minimal wording, similar to ERP gantries and road signs.
  • Installing the Touchscreen Display is optional. You can indicate your preference when scheduling your OBU installation appointment with your preferred workshop. The workshop will confirm this with you during your installation appointment as well.
  • If you choose to install the Touchscreen Display, the workshop will also confirm with you the exact position of the display. In most vehicles, it is mounted on the windscreen, in front of the antenna, for easy viewing by the driver.
  • If you choose not to install your Touchscreen Display, it will still be given to you. Please ensure that you keep it safely, especially if you wish to install it in the future.
Things to note when installing your OBU unit
  1. If your vehicle currently has a solar film on the windscreen, there may be minor damages to the solar film when the IU is removed, such as air bubbles or small holes. If the solar film on the windscreen of your vehicle already has a cut-out from the installation of your IU, please note that the Antenna of the OBU may not be able to cover the cut out entirely, as the position of the Antenna may differ from the IU.
  2. Only standard default placement as per the guidelines set by the LTA. No customized placement for the "Processing unit" will be carried out by the Škoda Service Centre.
  3. Regular Cashcards (i.e. cards with a microchip) cannot be used in the new OBU. Motorists can continue to use valid CEPAS cards (e.g., EZ-Link Motoring Card, NETS Flashpay and NETS Motoring Card). When you install with us at Škoda Service Centre, a new Cashcard will also be provided with no extra cost to you.
  4. Before sending your vehicle for OBU installation, please ensure that you check and remove all personal belongings from your dashboard. Škoda Service Centre will not be responsible for any lost, misplaced, or damaged items left in the vehicle during the installation process.
