As for the discussion about these not working, I think that some 'duplicators' were using old cards from people that no longer lived here, and these were removed from the system, therefore the copies would no longer work.
On a side note, I have been testing various gates and it seems the new readers easily read the cards through a CLOSED car window, and I have several other cards in the wallet.
In Phillips Villas, this does not work well. You need to get your car so close to the raised curb that you risk damaging your rims just to get the card to read through the window. I'm fairly certain that we do not have the new readers yet.
