Had mine done two years or more ago and they still work. Use them every day.

Card Reader
 
When we lived in The Villages all I needed to do was pull close to the gate reader, place my card to the window (as it was still closed) and it opened.
.
Don't live in TV anymore,
One reason is way too much traffic for a retirement village.

The exact model I have is no longer available, but this one looks like mine. You also need to buy some stick-on discs, the larger the better, but it is difficult to find discs that are larger than 25mm. I have found the it works better if you use 3 discs inside the mirror, but you still need to pull within a few inches of the gate box.

It's not true that the chips no longer work.

You must have missed it but according to posts 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, and 18 the chips still work.

You forgot to mention the red button for those gates without guards.

Really?

Where are these "new gate systems"?

Most gates don't have "guard's.

Yes - my wife has a number - but I don’t have one.

chip not necessary. The gate pass works right thru your window tinted or not. Just try it!

Mine works perfectly!

I’ve heard that a new system is in the works and what many of us have purchased won’t work once implemented. I believe there was even a discussion on TotV. A gate attendant confirmed that they are working on something.

Granted, this is hearsay, so I could be misinformed.

All I can say is laziness

It's true that a new system is in the works, but that it will not include issuing new gate cards to residents. So, it is likely that the mirror chips will still operate.

Ours still works (both car and cart)

Joe @ (845) 542-7365. He will come to your home, clone your gate card and install it in your mirror. Last year, cost was $25 per vehicle and it took less than 15 min.
