Internet supplier can be different in different locations in the villages, so if you know which village you will be in then you can get a specific answer.

Why pay for a gate chip? Just get one of those stick-on pockets for the back of your cell phone, and put your gate card in there. When you need to go through a gate, hold the back of your phone to the window (or hold it outside the window if you don't mind doing some actual work), and all gates will open just fine. You can even use it with multiple vehicles - no need for special installation, or paying for devices. Bonus: you get into the habit of keeping your phone handy in case of emergency.

Total cost: $1.29 or it can even be $0 if you get a free one at insurance company booths during craft fairs.

My SUV has a groove in the door where you can place the regular gate card and only half of the card will show. I covered it with a piece of black cardboard, so it is almost invisible. It doesn't interfere with the opening and closing of the window. I just drive up to the gate and the gate will open without the need to open window. It works everywhere except the old section where the gate sensor is too high. Give it a try.

I just hold the card to the bottom of the window of my SUV without opening the window. Why would you need it attached to a phone? I would really like to get the chip in our side mirror. I pull close to the card reader already and I imagine I would not have to pull as close if the chip is in the mirror. The mirror sticks out farther than where the window sits.

Does this chip in the mirror work OK with SUVs?

Is this groove in your door on the inside of the door? Trying to picture in my mind how this will look.

I have it on my phone because my phone comes with me no matter which vehicle I'm driving, and I don't have to dig through a wallet or my purse to find the gate card. When we first moved in, I would have the card on the binder clip on the steering wheel of my golf cart, and forget to take it when I went into a store. I eventually realized - being absent-minded like that could result in someone who should NOT have a gate card, taking mine - while I had to pay for a new one.

Then I had it in my purse - but reaching for my purse, digging in to the "right" pocket to get it out, then hold it up, put it back in my purse, putting my purse back in the basket - well people are impatient. I got tired of being yelled at.

The phone sits perfectly in the cup holder of the golf cart AND in the change tray of my car, which is where I keep it when I'm driving. Easy to reach for, easy to see, easy to carry from one place to the next, easy to put in a pocket if I feel like walking and NOT bringing my pocketbook with me - my phone is always with me.

So it's a no-brainer to just have the card on the back of my phone.

The groove is just inside the window at the top of the door, and the top of the gate card almost touches the window glass, but doesn't affect the window operation. (see photo).

I understand how this method works for you but.........hubby and I have two gate cards between us. One stays in the visor of our main car and the other gate card remains in our other car. I have never needed to use a gate card in our golf cart so we don't keep one there. I have pushed a gate button when in our cart maybe only once.

Now I get it. Thanks for the photo. That is the exact location that I hold my card with the window closed. That "groove" is the space between the window and the car door. Thank goodness, the card can not slip down as there is not enough room for it to slip down into the door.

The black cardboard is on the inside of the car so the card is visible from the outside of the car?????
