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

Default 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Thank you in advance.
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.
