Default Gate pass installed on car mirrors

There used to be a guy that installed a gate pass on your car mirror so that you didn't have to roll down your window. Purchased a new vehicle recently and forgot to remove mine on the old car. Please need name and contact number.

You can buy your own duplicator on amazon for under $20. Some are saying that the new gate system will not work with these duplicated cards and stickers. Time will tell.

As I recall the gentleman making the duplicate chips for the side mirrors is still doing this, and I am sure I saw some ads for this recently, now I cannot find them. Hopefully he will send you a private message.
As for the discussion about these not working, I think that some 'duplicators' were using old cards from people that no longer lived here, and these were removed from the system, therefore the copies would no longer work.
On a side note, I have been testing various gates and it seems the new readers easily read the cards through a CLOSED car window, and I have several other cards in the wallet.

That was my understanding with the new software, I was under the impression this was completed last month.

My wife's mirror chip still works...

BTW, removing the chip and moving it to a new vehicle typically damages the chip, rendering it useless...

It might have been Ed of Tri-Line Services. This is the number I found for him: 217-433-1394.

. New Readers=Meaningless for CLONED cards. Still work fine if cards are DUPLICATED. If card has a random number which some folks do then EVENTUALLY it is possible but highly unlikely they may only whitelist "real" numbers. .

If they want to block all cloned cards they would have to change all the readers to a new format (probably get rid of HID) and then change probably 100,000(??)+ existing cards figuring 2 cards for every home. I can say, the new reader devices (most READER DEVICES have NOT (yet?) been replaced, only the database software) are much much more sensitive than existing old ones which may eventually lead to a "legit" card or sticker affixed somewhere to your car.

All that being said, why even bother with gate cards. Automatic gates in both directions would do the identical job. Cameras can still read the plates. I wonder how many times a card code has been used for anything when a license plate is more accurate.

You can tell the new READERS (hardware) because they aren't all beat up and faded from the sun. One new READER (hardware) you can test is at the southern O'DELL circle entry gate off Morse closest to 466A. The gate at O'Dell Mallory is still old. The new one reads my mirror card from like 2-3 feet away where the older ones need you to get very much closer (like max about 1 foot.

I'm in the Lake Denham area and I have had no luck with any reader working without opening my window and getting real close. I drive up as close as possible but still have to open my window.

Having scan gate redundant. Public street. The gate should open automatically on timed delay. Gate cards are complete waste of money unless you’re in one of the exclusive villa that only they can enter.
