Mobile ADAS Calibration
Mobile ADAS Calibration Support for Drivers and Trade
ADAS Connect helps route mobile ADAS calibration enquiries for drivers, garages, bodyshops, windscreen companies and fleet operators where on-site support may be suitable.
On-Site Calibration Support
What is mobile ADAS calibration?
Mobile ADAS calibration is where suitable calibration support is provided at a garage, bodyshop, windscreen company, fleet site or customer location rather than requiring every vehicle to be moved to a separate calibration centre.
Whether mobile calibration is suitable depends on the vehicle, ADAS system, calibration method, available space, floor conditions, lighting, diagnostic requirements, module programming needs and manufacturer procedure.
Mobile ADAS enquiries can include
- Windscreen camera calibration
- Forward-facing camera calibration
- Radar calibration enquiries
- Lane assist calibration
- Post-repair ADAS support
- Trade and fleet support
- Some enquiries may also involve diagnostics or module programming
Who It Helps
Mobile ADAS calibration for trade and private enquiries
Mobile support can be useful when vehicles are already at a repair site, garage, glass company or fleet location. It can help reduce vehicle movement where the calibration procedure and site conditions allow.
Garages
Support for customer vehicles that may need camera, radar or sensor calibration after repair, servicing, wheel alignment or diagnostic work.
Bodyshops
Support after accident repair, bumper removal, panel replacement, sensor replacement or post-repair ADAS warning lights.
Windscreen companies
Support for forward-facing camera calibration after windscreen replacement on vehicles fitted with ADAS systems.
When It May Be Suitable
Not every ADAS calibration can be completed mobile
Some vehicles and calibration procedures may be suitable for mobile support. Others may require a controlled workshop environment, specific target setup, level floor space, lighting requirements or a road-test procedure.
This is why the vehicle details, repair reason and site information are important when making a mobile ADAS enquiry.
- Vehicle must be suitable for the required procedure
- Site conditions may need to meet setup requirements
- Static calibration may need target space
- Dynamic calibration may need suitable road conditions
- Diagnostic equipment may be required
- Manufacturer procedures determine the correct route
Common Reasons
Why mobile ADAS calibration may be requested
Mobile ADAS support is commonly requested after glass replacement, accident repair, sensor work, alignment changes or warning lights.
Site Requirements
What may be needed for on-site calibration?
ADAS calibration can be sensitive to setup conditions. Depending on the vehicle and required procedure, the site may need enough space around the vehicle, a suitable floor surface, correct tyre pressures, clear access and stable lighting.
Some static calibrations require targets to be placed at precise distances from the vehicle. Dynamic calibration may require a suitable road drive under specific conditions.
Useful site details
- Postcode or location
- Whether the vehicle is indoors or outdoors
- Available space around the vehicle
- Whether the ground is level
- Whether the vehicle is driveable
- Preferred timescale
How It Works
A simple route for mobile ADAS enquiries
Send the key details first. The enquiry can then be assessed based on the vehicle, location and likely calibration requirement.
1. Send the vehicle details
Include the registration, make, model, location and reason calibration may be needed.
2. Explain the situation
Tell us whether the vehicle has had glass replacement, accident repair, sensor replacement, wheel alignment or warning lights.
3. Check mobile suitability
The enquiry can be reviewed to understand whether mobile support may be suitable or whether another calibration route is required.
Trade Mobile ADAS
Mobile ADAS support for garages, bodyshops and fleets
Mobile ADAS calibration can be especially useful for trade customers who regularly handle vehicles after repair, glass replacement or diagnostic work.
For garages, bodyshops and fleet operators, having a route for mobile ADAS enquiries can help reduce unnecessary vehicle movement and support repair completion where on-site calibration is suitable.
- Useful for garages without in-house ADAS equipment
- Helpful for bodyshops managing repair completion
- Suitable for some windscreen replacement enquiries
- Relevant for fleet vehicle support
- Dependent on vehicle and procedure requirements
