I don't think you can even get a CAV transponder without a decal. This is what they told me about the ordering process:If you don't travel frequently in the SF Bay Area or don't have a car with a valid sticker, just get the Flex Transponder.
Fastrak Customer Service said:you may order a Clean Air Vehicle (CAV) toll tag by going to www.bayareafastrak.org and selecting “Help” and “Clean Air Vehicles”. At the bottom of the page select "I need a FasTrak Account" to sign-up for FasTrak and provide a copy of your DMV issued Clean Air Vehicle Certification. Only one vehicle is allowed per application.
What's the point of the decal in bay area anyways? I-680 has express lanes now, can I drive in them with a flex-3 setting and a sticker?
Oh so I can use 680 with decal? Do I need a flex-3 then? I still have my transponder from 10years agoThe decals are for the other Bay Area roads and onramps that don't have Express lanes: 4, 80, 84, 85, 87, 92, 101, 280, 580, 680, Central Expressway, Montague Expressway,....
The CAV transponder just turns into a regular Flex once your decal expires.Bringing this back... my CAV decal expires at the end of 2021. Would you recommend I get the fastrak flex (I’m going with flex over standard as I travel across the bay bridges frequently) and/or the CAV one? I don’t know if the CAV one will be worth it though since I only have a year left and won’t be commuting as much with Covid
Right but I need the flex instead of the regular one. So I’m debating whether I should get the CAV one now for a year until my decal expires and then switch over to flex or just not bother with it and get the flex now, use the HOV lane but not get the discountThe CAV transponder just turns into a regular Flex once your decal expires.
The CAV transponder is just a Flex transponder with a sticker on it (and that's linked to a CAV VIN). After your CAV stickers expire, the transponder will work like a regular Flex.Right but I need the flex instead of the regular one.

What's the difference between the two?
I heard that you should keep Fastrak Flex set to 3+ even if you are driving solo, but this doesn't seem to be true anymore?...
Every car that I have put a FasTrak transponder in had this problem of it falling off the windshield. I just put it on the dash (with a black tape over the number) using the Velcro tape.How do folks here mount fastrak flex/cav? I tried windshield next to camera using provided Velcro tape and it keeps falling off every time I park in the sun.
I just received the replacement velcro from Fastrak. Hopefully this one stays on. Otherwise I will have to look into a suction cup mount like the one mentioned above.Like I said above, I've had no problem with the Velrco supplied by FasTrak in the past. However, when I removed the previous (Flex) device (from Honda) to install the new (CAV) device in the Tesla, I did notice that the old Velcro had kind of 'crystalized' (due to heat and sunlight, I assume). It just fell apart into little pieces. However, FasTraK is really good about sending replacement parts--very quick. I received replacement Velcro right away.
