It would be nice if they used the bar code system instead of the card.
No more lost cards or dropped cards.
Butttt then that would be a loss in revenue for TV.

Nope

Oh poor baby!

If a transponder is available - I would like to give it to the Police and Fire. I see the Fire trucks almost daily stop and wait for the gate to go up, wasting time. Please get them a transponder to enter quickly when needed.

You can only go as fast as the vehicle in front of you. Slow down and enjoy life.

Convenience is ot the issue. The gate is there to assure people come to a stop at the gate.

Get rid of gate arms!!
 

The Villages needs to get rid of unmanned gate entries and replace them with speed bumps. Cheaper, faster and less frustrating.

No one has mentioned it yet, but when we first moved here almost 2 years ago, I read on one of the forums or a Facebook posting (possibly) there was a person that would implant (?) your code into your car (door, I believe), so that you wouldn’t have to mess with your card anymore. I’ve wanted to check in to it, but husband thinks we may be replacing our car soon, so I’ve delayed researching it. Anyone else heard of this?

The gates can be set to open automatically a few seconds after you stop at an entrance as they do when you exit.

They do this while Villages are still under construction.

Mine works thru the window but my friends does not. she asked about it and was told the "old card" doesn't work thru the window.

Rf chips are the new thing in gated communities. Stick it on windshield and your done.

Call Ed Ingalls of Tri Line handyman services, 217-433-1394. For $35 he takes your key card into his van, reads the information from it and transfers that onto a chip that he then installs behind your drivers side mirror. Pull your car close to the card reader and come to a stop and voila the gate opens. I’ve been using for about a year and gate opens 99% of time. For the rare instance when it doesn’t I keep my spare key card in the door pocket. Well worth it.

Yes Zebra and here is the info: call Ed Ingalls of Tri Line Services 217-433-1394 and for a small fee he will install a chip on your side view mirror. Had this done last summer and what a blessing! I paid $35.00 and so worth it. No more rolling down windows. Just drive up close to reader and gate will automatically open.
