We have them on both our car and cart. Love them especially when it’s raining.

I have a very high SUV, so the installer put it on the very bottom corner of my mirror. The only gate that it has not worked on was Bailey Trail. These last few days when it had been wet and cold, it has been a pleasure not to have to open my window

Thumbs up

Did mine 10 years ago. Almost forgot to remove it when I sold my old car. Put your card in a zip-lock plastic bag to keep the weather out.
Will NOT WORK if the mirror housing is made of metal or your paint is metallic paint.
Some gate readers are too high. SUVs won't have as much of a problem as sedans and sports cars, 'cause their mirror is higher. [ ADDED: Except the post above!!! ]
Saves wear and tear on the motor on your power window too.

Good luck,
Skip

Default Good tip - thanks

Looked on Amazon and see that it sells with 10 cards. Did you use cards or did you also order the "coin" size and/or keychain type shown. Obviously, they are smaller and might be easier to fit to mirror. Will appreciate any response and/or your thoughts.

Can you provide a link to the Amazon product that is compatible with The Villages cards? Thanks.
