What drivers are saying
First reactions from the road
Show a driver the Gantry Display and the reaction tends to land in the same few places: how much smaller it is than the unit that came with the car, how it looks on the dash, and how much easier it is to actually read while driving.
Comments are paraphrased from public feedback on the demo, with names changed.
Next to the bulky unit that comes with the car, this is in a different league. It sits there without taking over the whole dashboard.
It looks so much nicer than the chunky bezelled screen. Round, clean, and it actually suits the interior.
Finally a device where someone thought about how it feels to use. This is what should have come as standard.
The profile is so slim it reads as part of the car rather than something stuck onto it.
Everything I want while driving is on one round face — the charge as it happens, my speed, my balance — and nothing else competing for attention.
It looks genuinely good. My first thought watching it was simply: how do I get one.
“Way better than what came with the car.” Desmond T.
“Looks good — and it looks like it belongs there.” Priya S.
“How do I get one?” Aaron N.
“This is the one I would have wanted at installation.” Hafiz M.
And the questions people ask
The same few come up every time. Here are straight answers to each one, including the things Gantry genuinely cannot do.
Can it control the CashCard?
No — and that one is not coming. LTA's OBU API is read-only, so Gantry can see what the OBU reports (charges, alerts, balance) but cannot send anything back to it. Enabling or disabling a stored-value card still has to be done through the OBU itself or LTA's own channels.
Do I really need my phone in the car?
Yes. Your phone is the bridge between the OBU and the display, so it has to come along — but it does not need attention. The app runs in the background with the phone in your pocket, everything reconnects on its own each drive, and a Live Activity keeps your balance on the Lock Screen.
What if someone else drives the car?
Any number of phones can pair with the same display, and adding one does not disturb the phones already paired — each new driver scans the same QR code once. The display holds one connection at a time, so the first paired phone to connect when you get in drives it for that session. See the multi-driver guide.
What happens when I change phones?
You pair the new phone the same way you paired the first one: register its Bluetooth with LTA, pair the OBU in the app, scan the display's QR code. The unpair & re-pair guide covers moving a display to a new phone step by step.
Does this modify my OBU?
No. Gantry does not touch the OBU hardware, its wiring, or its settings — the app reads messages from it using LTA's official OBU API, and the display shows them. Your ERP charges and card deductions happen exactly as they would without Gantry.
iPhone only?
For now. Gantry supports iPhone on iOS 18 or later, and an Android version is in development. The app is required for the display to work, so an iPhone is needed to set it up and use it today.
Why pay for this at all?
Gantry Display is an independent product, not an official upgrade — it is built and sold by us, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by LTA. It is S$200 as an early-access unit, with a S$50 deposit to reserve one and S$150 on collection.
Driving with one? Tell us how it is going
A line or two is plenty — what you look at most, what you would change, what finally made sense once it was on the dash. Send it to feedback@gantrydisplay.com and your comment might end up on this page. We will always ask you first, and you can pick how you are credited.
