Full Service With Windshield Camera Recalibration

ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) are specially designed and provide a group of safety functions to enhance driver safety and reduce the chance of any traffic accidents. The calibration process covers, adjusts, and tests all the cameras and sensors on the windshield to ensure they work properly after the windshield replacement job.

What is Windshield Camera Recalibration?

The purpose of incorporating cameras into the ADAS system is to make driving safer and more comfortable. All modern cars are mostly equipped with sensors and cameras connected to the windshield. This specific camera is pivotal in a sophisticated system that identifies road markings, other vehicles, and pedestrians. It serves as an alert mechanism, notifying drivers of potential hazards. In instances where windshield damage necessitates replacement, manufacturers often mandate the recalibration of the front windshield camera as a prerequisite for completing repairs.

Why need Windshield Camera Recalibration Services?

Failure to appropriately calibrate a car’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) can compromise the safety and functionality of the system. Even slight misalignments, as small as a few millimeters, in the cameras, radars, or lasers on the vehicle may result in inaccurate readings, hindering the proper operation of the ADAS. The consequences of a misaligned camera extend beyond mere functionality issues; it poses a significant risk to safe driving and increases the likelihood of accidents.

Why Does Your Vehicle Need Camera Recalibration?

In most cases, the system’s sensors are integrated into the windshield. Once disconnected or moved during the replacement process, the sensors can be disturbed or thrown out of alignment. To ensure that you’re getting proper readings, the camera should be recalibrated and aimed to OEM specifications.

Understanding How Camera Recalibration Works

Depending on your vehicle’s year, make, and model, you may need to have a static, dynamic, or dual (both static and dynamic) recalibration. These typically take one to two hours to complete, and we recommend them after replacing your windshield.

Static recalibration is done while the vehicle is stationary. This process requires using a scan tool and lasers to provide targeted results. The advantage of static recalibration is that the car can stay in the shop and does not have to be on the road to complete the full range of the recalibration work.

Dynamic recalibration, on the other hand, takes place while driving your vehicle. We plug the system into your ODB port to test, monitor, and recalibrate the ADAS settings. This process cannot be completed during rain or snowstorms. Therefore, careful consideration is taken into account when scheduling your windshield replacement. Once the recalibration is completed to OEM specifications, the technician will print out a pre and post-scan report for your records.

In some cases, dual recalibration will be needed. This means some work will be done in the shop while the rest is completed with your car on the road. At Glasstek, we’ll help you choose the best options for your vehicle.

Was so happy to hear that GlassTek could handle the recalibration of the safety systems mounted on my windshield as I understand most glass shops don’t have that capability given he investment required in the technology
