my DIY cashcard reminder,

 

-materials needed:

1) a cheap and long handphone strap

2) paper hole puncher

 

-instructions:

1) punch a hole at the corner edge of your cashcard (away from the magnetic strip)

2) secure your hp strap to your cashcard.

everytime you need to use it, simply insert it into the IU and attach the other end of the strap to your bike key, you will be reminded to take your cashcard when you are removing your key.

siol la. if u forget to take ur bike keys like some ppl do. it serves no purpose so as to attach the strap to the keys.

 

instead of losing cashcard, u lose cashcard + ur bike. JOYRIDE!!

As long as u dont aim n punch rite thru the RFID chip in the cash card it should be ok

and also the serial number

[Phang]

I believe our cash card is not RFID card.

EZ-Link is RFID, cash card should be contact type smart card like those SIM card in our phone. You can punch as many hole as you like on a cash card as long as you don't touch the chip area. Chip area is as big as your phone's SIM card.

[kurarensu]

yes.. anywhere on the cashcard is fine.. main thing is the golden chip area

[D_Lufy]

mmm.. yet i still wonder, once u punch already.. will damage the IU unit slot there mah?

[kurarensu]

how will it affect? as long the card shape is still a card shape short abit in terms of holes also can work one..

Would like to share my idea of a simple ERP cashcard reminder. I got this idea from reading some of the suggestions in this forum.

 

This is my bunch of bike keys:

Notice the plastic coil thing that has a hook at one end.

 

Keys in bike, no cashcard:

The good thing about this plastic coil is you can hook it to your keyring and it won't scratch your bike. It's also not so bulky.

 

Cashcard in, hook to remember:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2463/3650512632_2920a0cd86.jpg

If you have inserted a cashcard in your ERP unit, hook the plastic coil to the ERP unit as shown.

 

You will always be reminded of your cashcard because your keys are connected to the ERP unit unless you unhook the plastic coil from the ERP unit to remove your cashcard. Of course, this will not work if you forget your bike keys

 

The plastic coil is extendable so it should work for ERP units that are located far from your bike ignition switch. Anyway, the coil is quite cheap, less than $2 from your neighbourhood hardware store.

 

You can also use cloth keyfobs that are long enough, or even a simple piece of string, and use the ERP cover to "kiap" (hold it in place) whenever you put a cashcard into your ERP unit.

 

Hope this helps!

is it possible to top up cash card using the S/n of the card?

[lutein]

Only if you have a cashcard reader that connects to a PC and you send in an application form. You still need to insert your cashcard into the ERP unit when you drive through the gantry.

wat if my ignition is at the side of the bike?

if its possiable to top up cash card with out having the cash card with you, then this will work.

 

I am thinking of this for a very long time:

 

Cut the cash card to a length that once in the IU, it cannot be removed or seen.

Make a hole though the cash card, so if we want to take it out we can hook it out using a paper clip.

Because the IU reads the cash card only at the gold plated area, so i assume if we don't cut that area it should not be a problem.

 

1st way to remove the cash card is using a paper clip, to hook it out.

 

2nd way to remove it is to open up the IU. So maybe if someone wants to try this out he can top up $200 in the cash card and leave it in the IU.

 

of cause there are a few cons:

 

1) If the bike gets stolen, so does the cash card.

2) Unable the trace bike using AXS machine when bike is stolen.

3) IU must not be in warranty.

4) IU must be connected to ignition and not directly to battery.

5) There is a chance that your whole IU get stolen.

6) Unable the siam gantry for car park.

 

Pros:

 

1) You will never forget to put in your cash card, because it it in side the IU all along.

2) Cash card will not be stolen.

3) Nobody will notice that you have a cash card in your IU.

4) No need to worry about for get to take cash card.
