WOW. Haven't had a mirror sticker thread in a while! When/if they finish changing **ALL** the gates here there is virtually no way in heck the existing cloned stickers will stop working AS LONG AS YOUR STICKER WAS ACTUALLY CLONED FROM YOUR CARD THAT HAS YOUR ASSIGNED NUMBER AND NOT PROGRAMMED WITH SOME RANDOM NUMBER or no number which some "dealers" have been known to do. In order for them to stop working, they would have to replace 130,000 (or whatever number of them exists) existing cards and totally change every gate reader. The readers on the upgraded gates are the same old dirty ones they always were. They are not changing the "TYPE/FORMAT" of card READERS they are just changing the database so any nonexistent numbers in their database will be rejected when used. (EDIT TO ADD: and what difference does THAT even make seeing that all ANYONE has to do is "press the red button!!)
I'd love to see them change all the readers and get rid of all the circa 1990's ones they are using so they can come up with a permanent under hood or on windshield (option) system just like my father's 40 year old condo had for over 20 years.
