Here is the gizmo. You can buy the discs separately, and I would suggest you buy the largest ones you can find, because the small ones don't work very well in the mirror.

I never open my car window. Just get close enough to the sensor and place my card against the window and magic happens.

WOW. Such an inconvenience. How often do you come through a gate when it’s raining: a half dozen times a year? And even if it’s more, it’s such a problem that you need to put an window down and have your arm outside the window for ten seconds or less.

Our card does not trigger the sensor 1/3 of the time through the window. We get close to the sensor, but still…. We simply put the window down and…. No big deal.

As an aside and reason why I don’t mind putting the window down. I bought a used Mercedes in 1990 or so, it was about 6 years old. After I bought it I realized both rear windows did not power down. Grrr. Brought it to a repair shop and they told me that this was typical of luxury cars. So many drivers simply never use the power windows in the back. And after some time the motors freeze or such. Had to have both rear door motors replaced…$$$
So from that time on I don’t mind using the power windows and put the rear ones down every couple weeks. Like use it or lose it???

Reason-beats me. Type of glass in the car?

The card worked through the window on my previous car (2018 Honda Pilot ) but will not work through my Tesla window.

The passenger side and driver side windows on the Tesla are double pane windows for noise abatement so I’m sure that the window type is a factor….

He came to the house and placed sensors on my driver's side mirror. Now I pull up to the gate box - wait a second - and voila, the gate opens. He's reliable and reasonable and likeable. Nice to sit in your care and say, "Open Sesame" and have it work.

If the developer wasn't so damn cheap, everyone would have a decal so no one would have to open their window!

No one should have to push a button to gain entry into a gated, bogus gated community!

And oh . . . .
I didn't know you had to be over 18 to push that red button!

I have it too because of a friend. She keeps her cars a lot longer than I do. She has had her window fixed twice so far. She had a gate card where she used to live and had the same car with her when she moved here The repairman told her that opening and closing your window constantly will eventually lead to it not working any more. I think it burns out. She sells real estate and enters different villages every day. If you keep your car a long time you might want to consider doing this. It was interesting to watch how he was able to turn that automatic window almost completely around. He said it is made to do that if it ever needs to be repaired. This is who I had install mine and they are licensed and insured.
