Gate pass remote reader/writer for chips
 
Can anyone tell me where you can buy chip “programmer” for mirror to open gate. I have read that you can buy chips… and reader / writer to copy my gate pass.
I am not looking to buy chip only but that I can program my own chips for our cars, and golf carts. I heard you can buy these on Amazon but not sure what to buy.
Thank you for your help

OP, this one does not require software or connection to a computer and it comes with 5 stick-on discs that can be used inside of the mirror housing. You can also buy additional discs from Amazon. For best operation, I use 4 discs, 3 inside the mirror housing and one taped to the outside edge of the mirror housing. It may be overkill, but I never have an issue driving through the gates.

Unfortunately you need a Windows computer to run that one. A standalone unit would be preferred to me.

The one in Post No. 5 is a standalone unit. You just press the read button and then the write button. No software or computer. Easy Peasy.

That RFID copier does not support 13.56 MHz frequency that the Villages RFID cards use.

That 125KHz RFID copier looks to be exactly the one I purchased to create the No 3 keychain that opened the gate today.

Have you tried it? The exact one I have is no longer sold by Amazon, but mine looks exactly like the unit in Post No. 5. It is a 125 khz copier and it works with HID cards. I would be surprised if it doesn't work, but you can always return it to Amazon.

The round stick-on discs seem to work well most of the time but the other one works best in my Tesla M3 mirror which is lower to the ground. It seems to have a better range of operation. I really enjoy using both as it makes the entrance gate operation very similar to the exit gate.

So, where did you get the other one? I use the stick-on discs, but I use more than one to get a better function.

Villages gate cards are a 125khz RFID system. To copy, you need a reader/writer that supports the "T5577" format.
