Homelink would be cool!
The gate in this topic is a also only a golf cart gate. There's no way to get a car through it.

To Bogie Shooter: I like the IDEA of a mag strip. The ones I've used and seen in other communities could be peeled off the windshield, and that would make them impractical for golf carts, that generally don't have doors you can lock to give some measure of security against theft.

Velvet brings up a possibility of a mag strip that can't be stolen - I'm reminded of stickers for different stores where, if you try to peel them off, they rip and become useless. The downside to THAT, is vandalism, random ne'er do wells ripping them intentionally.

It's called brainstorming, Bogie Shooter. It's a fun exercise when you have a challenge that interests you.
