:faint: So you bought an off market product and you want to complain about it not working with technology changes. Look at the changes that occur every day in technology on phones, cars, tv's, laptops, tablets, etc and no one complains. That is the way things are and will continue to be.

:cryin2: Have a card in every vehicle, do not roll down window and card works. We have seen and ridden with those that have chip and it requires getting just as close and just as slow as flashing card on window. A lot of complaining about nothing. Your 5 year old phone does not work on 5G either is that part of The Villages fault as well.

Or simply push the little red button.....like everybody that doesn't live here does....works every time!!

(spoken in a whiney voice) But then I would have to roll my window down. All the cool/warm air would escape, and I might get wet if its raining. 😏😧
Life here is so hard.

That is probably true but the Villages is trying to gain back control.

I use it often as I only have 2 cards and they are usually in the golf carts.

If the current cards continue to work, the cloned chips will continue to work. They are identical...

Tell me you didn't read the thread without telling me you didn't read the thread...

Once again... Holding the card up to the window DOES NOT WORK in my wife's car.

I don't know if it's a weak chip or if there's some sort of tinting in the window that interferes, but it simply does not work.

Your "new technology" analogy also fails, since the mirror chip is IDENTICAL to the chip inside your card.

If they are going to phase out the current card system, fine. Then the mirror chips won't work, either.

I guess you've never seen the little old ladies going back and forth, trying to get close enough to reach the red button...

I'm 6"1'. I have no problem reaching the damn button. But I've seen people actually open their door, trying to get to the "simple red button"...

Gain control of what?
Public street!!
ANYBODY can come and go by simply pushing the little red button!!!

Control????????:1rotfl::1rotfl:

Control of cards. Each household is allowed 2 or 4 cards. They do not like it when someone finds a way to beat the system.

Nothing to do with "hardship." Why do people keep saying that ... it's totally ridiculous. I have one simply "because I can." It's neat beating out the stupid 40 year old open your window (MY CARD DOES NOT WORK THROUGH MY CLOSED WINDOW) wave your card at the reader ancient system. Why do people buy $100,000 cars or $1,000,000 homes. They don't need them. It's not a hardship to live in a $300,000 home vs a $1,000,000 home. These stupid chips are simply a tiny very cheap "luxury" for some. Some people buy 10 pairs of shoes when 2 will do just fine or smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day or buy $7 drinks at the Squares, Why? Because they can. I chose to spend my money on a "chip" since I don't smoke or drink. Nothing to do with being too lazy to roll down a (power) window. I just don't get the angst generated in so many people because some folks have these stupid little devices. Maybe it's just chip envy. ;) Nahh, just a bunch of old fuddy duddys that like to complain about what others have but they don't.

Which is why, when called, they stated they didn't have a problem with people cloning chips to put in their mirrors...

:bigbow::bigbow::bigbow:

Beat what system????
The one where every body and anybody that wants in just has to push the little red button!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gate access exclusivity rating.........ZERO!
