i'm really interested in getting one of the aduiovox cl100 for my camry 2007 that has factory remote starter so that i can start my car from the gps feature's 1-800#. from what i've found on the internet i need: CL100 (part number ASPTUGM) CAUGM for factory starter applications Do I have this right? I've seen others like CL100A and other letter combinations so I'm wondering if they're all the same or different. Anything really special about installing one of these on a 2007 Camry? Any wiring or install manuals anywhere I can find? It's my first post here. Looks like a great forum!

We deal with the Carlink(CL100) and they are neat. They have been out for years and work well. The issue they continue to have is the service. They contract the operation to small companies that answer the 1-800# and these operators can be a bit of a pain. They tend not to always have enough help on hand and you may get no answer in busy times. Tho it's not terrible it can be annoying considering you are paying a monthly service. Other neat features are GPS unlock(like Onstar) and starter shut down. The next question is, can the factory RS in the Camry be started with a single negative pulse? ------------- Mike M2

Everywhere I read it says it has lifetime activated service with no monthly fees. Isn't the 800 number also all prompted with no operators? Let me know if I'm wrong, this is all I've read online so far. Not sure about the single pulse for the Camry. Anyone else know? What other pulses/signals does the unit send out for the other options like door unlock, etc?

with the CAUGM it can work with any system, not all functions will work, but can unlock doors/lock and do the aux output. i have mine on a python remote start.

so with the cl100 and the CAUGM I'd be good to go?

if your factory system has an input for the remote start. got to find out if your factory has an input pulse to start the car.

I would say you are out of luck unless you add a complete aftermarket remote start, or unless the "factory" one you have is really a dealer installed aftermarket. I really doubt the OEM one is gonna have a start input waiting for you to tap into.

I'm with NowYaKnow on this one.
---All that the CL100 can do is put out computerized data pulses after you call on the telephone..........when you plug it into a compatible Audiovox alarm or remote starter, it "reads" the data and starts the car.
---I haven't personally worked with the CAUGM before. But I believe what it does is, it "reads" the data from the CL100............and then there's an an output that simply makes a momentary straight ground after you make the phone call.
---Many remote starters have an "activation input"---apply a momentary ground to the input, and the remote starter kicks in.
So, if you already had a non-Audiovox remote starter----say, a Viper or something-----you could buy the CL100, the CAUGM, and connect the CAUGM's output to the Viper's input........and that turns on your remote start.
But, I couldn't imagine the factory Toyota remote starter having any kind of activation input.
----Nothing is 100% impossible. You could take apart one of your factory remotes, solder wires onto the circuit board that trigger the "lock" button.
Buy or build some type of timer thingy that'll give it the "press, press, hold" that Toyota requires.
Use the CAUGM to activate your timer thingy.
Again, not impossible, but costly and time-consuming. It would probably be less expensive just to get an Audiovox remote starter, CL100, and skip the CAUGM altogether.

thanks chrisluongo, i was thinking it might be possible to wire up a key fob. This shouldn't be really hard to do actually. I just have to figure out the electronics/switch to do it. For the timer type thingy, what can i search on for this? I've been searching around in a few electronics forums but don't know the terminology to research it more. Is there something specific something like this would be called?

i'm also trying to find the best deal on one of these online. can someone explain to me who actually makes them, or are they repackaged under several brands. i've seen "code alarm", "audiovox" and "prestige". are these all the same unit?

I'm not really awake enough right now to give a lot of thought to the timer...... but you could start by looking into the PAC TR-7.
Audiovox sells security products under the following brands: Audiovox, Pursuit, Prestige, and Code Alarm. (They used to have Rampage-brand alarms, but not any more.)
So, I think whatever name you see associated with the CL100, they're going to all be the same.
You know that the CL stands for CarLink, right? There is also a Pursuit PT100 (for PursuiTrak), which I think is the same as the CL100, but I'm not entirely sure.
As far as where to get a good price, there was a flood of them on eBay a while back, but I don't know about right now.

The PAC tr-7 looks like a cool little piece of equipment. thanks for the pointer. is this unit only a single channel though? i mean if I wanted it wired upto the keyfob for the remote start and one for say the lock button(for example) would I need 2 seperate PAC TR-7's or is the unit advanced enough to do more than one channel of switching?

I can answer some of your Q's on the CL. I have had one on my personal vehicle for just about a year, as far as service, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. As posted audiovox contracts this service through a private company and they dont have very good service, after talking with these guys on the phone they dont sound the brightest. the CL includes lifetime activation and service, HOWEVER the new model that just came out replaces the CL and no longer includes lifetime activation, it is now 3 year with no answer even from audiovox themselves how much monthly fees will be after the 3 years. supposedly if you have the CL model you will still be entitled to the lifetime service.
I.m.h.o i think your going to spend more time and money trying to make this work with your factory system compared to just buying an audiovox 686 remote start/keyeless entry and a CL100 and being done and you know it will work together the way it was designed.
