I was ordering some more on Amazon, and for the first time I was offered a service contract.
According to everything I read about it, they will repair them for the next 4 years. Considering these thing normally don’t last a year… I had to give it try.
Will report back when the time comes. If you want to try too:
Now that’s a deal. I’m going to be cheap and go for the 3 years for $1.98. However, I have had mine (same ones as linked) for 2 years now with no trouble.
The ones in the link shouldn’t have any issues working with Vin65 if they are confirmed to be unencrypted. I think these aren’t encrypted because Amazon sellers apparently can’t add encryption keys to the swipers, only manufacturers can. So hopefully they are unencrypted.
