Good luck peeling the gate card our of the mirror and it being reusable. There is a circle made of VERY tiny wires that starts about 1 inch in diameter and winds creating a circle about 1.5 inches in diameter. If you break a single wire (which you will absolutely do) then the chip is useless.

This is what I use and can be easily relocated,

Installation took 20 minutes in my garage. So far it works fine. Takes a bit to get used to though

Some gates better than others. Overall just OK but worth $25 IMO

Yep. Works great.

I found out I didn't need it. the card works right thru the closed window... make sure you are lined up correctly with the beam. try it before you spend money you don't have to.

Yep, great idea for old people. :ohdear::ohdear:

Was behind a car that went back and forward twice to get close enough. Wonderful.

My wife had one put on our Traverse (and I have no idea who it was); it works great.

Works good. Why didn't the Villages think of this?

Have it on my golf cart, suv, and large pickup. All work fine with exception of 1 gate for the pickup. Too much height difference. Just need to pul closer than when you wave the card.

Works like a charm. My new SunPass. Lol.
