Default Gate Openers

Joe Striano places a chip on the outside mirror (inside the mirror) of your car that enables you to approach and stop at gates in The Villages, and the gate will open. No buttons to push, no widows to roll down. No wet arms in car when raining - and reduces possibility of car hijacking. He did an outstanding job on our cars. Call him. Get this chip. You will be glad you did. Phone 845-542-7365

Great, I was wondering how to reduce car jacking (with people in the car) in TV.

Do vendors give a discount for people doing commercials for them? Asking for a friend

You know what else reduces the possibility of car jacking, just being in The Villages.

Just pulling up the the gate sensor, which pretty much blocks you from opening your door, will prevent car-jackings...

Plus, I don't think I've -ever- seen anyone loitering around an entrance gate...

OTOH, some of those gate attendants do look a bit sketchy...

Thanks for the post Joe. I thought blatant advertising wasn't permitted unless one is a paid advertiser.

I for one appreciate the info. So tired of having to use that card to get into a gate that ANYONE can get through.

He did ours too. I love it. There are a few gates that the sensor is too high but it works almost everywhere. He also put it in the headlight of our pick up which is raised and it works great!
