 Is anyone using the TagMaster XT-5 RFID card reader with ABDI software for their gate access and if so, have you had good luck with the windshield tags and ISO cards?

We used to use RFID windshield cards for our community, but not the ABDI software.  We switch to bar codes after a couple of years due to the short life span of the cards due to the Florida Heat, and the metallic composition of some of the high end vehicle windshields.

I was not using a tagmaster, I was using a 3MM Sirit reader with windshield and headlamp RFID and I had to eliminate it and move to BAI barcode readers. We had to many issues with the RFID trying to read as they were competing with tint on windshields, lead in head lights, Bluetooth and WiFi signals in cars, headups displays, sunpasses, etc. Just to many factors. As soon as we switched to barcodes, no issues
