2007 saturn vue which idatalink bypass?

Hello, I have a 2007 Saturn VUE and have ordered an Autopage C3RS730LCD alarm/remote starter/door lock kit. As I understand it, the VUE uses a Passlock 2 system and I will need a bypass immobilizer. After numerous emails and calls to Autopage with no response, I tried calling idatalink. After waiting over 30 minutes the technical support was not very helpful and confused me more. He said I would have to buy an Orange box idatalink which is pre-programmed. He said the green boxes have to be programmed. Well I signed up for an account since I technically own a technology business so we will see if I am approved. Now I am trying to decide which box I need. There is this one, http://www.amazon.com/Autopage-ADSALCA-Immobilizer-Bypass-Doorlock/dp/B001983S0Q/ and then there is this one http://www.amazon.com/Data-Immobilizer-Bypass-Module-ADSTB/dp/B00197YK5O. There is a $20 difference so I want to make sure either will work as long as I can flash. Do I need anything else or need to know anything else to have this installed?

Both do the same thing. Its just a matter of which one you want to get. If you get the ADS-ALSL-GM you will not need to program it. Do you have the idatalink updater cable? You will need it in order to program the bypasses. They do not just simply plug into your computer... you must have the adapter cable.Kenny

Thank you for that info. This alarm is starting to become more and more expensive. Hah. Since I will only be doing this on one car, maybe I should get the preprogrammed or go for the Bulldog which includes the bypass. Bulldog vs Autopage. Would you consider one better than the other?

I have not had good experience with either. I haven't had any experience with Autopage, but have seen some Bulldog brains go bad.Kenny

Thank you. Would this be the correct Immbolizer for my car? http://www......com/item_36183_idataLink-ADS-DLSL-GM1.html

The link doesn't work, but going by the description, it looks like it is. If you go on idatalink.com you can put your vehicle in and it will give you the exact options for bypass modules.Kenny

Here try this link For whatever reason their site confused me. Gives me 6 different options. They list "ADS-ALSL GM" but not the ADS-ALSL GM1

The ADS-ALSL GM will handle the locks and Factory Alarm ( if equipped ).  Makes things a little easier.  Just connect the ADS-ALSL GM

in the W2W mode.  No ADS USB cable necessary as it comes pre-loaded.  Very reliable unit.

Bulldog remote starters are pretty reliable ( when installed properly ) but very limited in options / features.  They do have issues

detecting a weak Tach signal.

Soldering is fun!

Does the 1 at the end on the product number matter?

Yes.

Actually it is ADS DLSL GM1 and ADS ALDL GM.  The ADS ALDL GM will work on the 2007 Saturn Vue while the ADS DLSL GM1

won't.  The only Saturn the ADS DLSL GM1 works on is the Relay.  The Solo Series in the orange box come preloaded withfirmware while the green box Multi Series require the USB cable and dealer access for the firmware download.  The Blademodules are only used with newer Compustar units.

Soldering is fun!
