After clearly learning the system in and out through emails to and from District staff who are very responsive and great to work with, I am using my own cloned chip installed in a side mirror in place of the old Village gate card. I have people standing in line on my street to have me clone their old gate card for free. The cost of the RFID device to clone the cards is around $17 and the chips (new card) is around $.75 . So, my cost to make for neighbors is around $1 per card. For those that what to do this but are willing to pay, there are people who will do everything plus install for between $30 ~ $40.

It's your choice to stay the same or try something different and maybe better.
I get very confused at times..... this is one of them. Why is this NOT considered tampering with a traffic control device? Gates in the Villages are traffic control devices that are owned, installed and maintained by our Government. I hope GWN pipes in with his vast knowledge of how things work around here.
