I now use the larger card not the round 3M one as it gives me much better range to not need to be close and works well on both the Tesla model 3 which is low and the Honda CRV which has a higher mirror. So nice to not be distracted looking for the gate card and allows me to have both hand on the wheel at all times. Then, it's like using the exit gate.
Video of me using the older card when I needed to be closer to the reader.
