  • The impacts of ADAS and how repairs are performed is a continuously evolving path. Windshields are no exception to the ripple effect of advanced driver assistance systems. It is crucial to understand the importance of proper calibration procedures where glass is involved as well as the risks of overlooking them. The precise tolerance requirements of radar and camera systems as well as the wide range of manufacturer processes require much more than a casual understanding of ADAS. For collision operators and glass installers alike, there has never been a more critical time to partner with a resource that not only understand ADAS but is continually adding the latest in both OE and alternative targeting, diagnostic equipment, and training to ensure that you can rest well knowing that your customers are in a safely repaired vehicle. Proper calibration is not optional, it can be the difference between life or death.

    If I don't unplug the power from the camera, does it still need it?

    So that’s why there’s so many accidents because people are not actually using their own common sense their depending on a camera

      That's exactly what I was thinking! Why can't people keep their vehicles between the lines without a warning from the computer chip? Why can't they back up without a camera and a beep to let them know when to stop before hitting something or someone? I have all of it in my vehicle.... but I do NOT depend on a computer chip to make my decisons.

    In my lifetime I have replaced 3 windshields. The radar adds $500 to cost and the technicians are charging $450 an hour.

    • @Phuong_Nguyen_

      Can’t you just use the radar from the old windshield? And 450 an hour to calibrate the sensor?

    • @thomaspaine6496
      @thomaspaine6496 2 роки тому +1

      The radar appears to be attached to the windshield. Not an interchangable part. My bill was $889 and change. Insurance paid about $500. Don't follow gravel trucks.

    So if the clarity of the glass and camera alignment is so critical, then why doesn't a dirty windshield or a rainy windshield cause the problems in miscalculation you refer to? I call bullshit!

    Windshields needing that critical and specific calibration sounds like a dangerous liability to me. Ridiculous.

    Seems like its a better idea to disable the ADAS system than to trust someone recalibrated it correctly and find out they didn't the hardway.

    Got a quote on my 2021 Nissan Titan Pro-4X...$851.00. WTF. I don't understand what they are actually doing during recalibration. Are the sensors attached to glass or just behind it?

    Paying 40 grand for a vehicle and the second it runs out of warranty paying another $2000 to have your camera adjusted or replaced seems really ridiculous. How about we just go back to paying attention while we’re driving and not trying to have the vehicle drive for us . Self driving vehicles are only going to create, worse drivers

      No he gave us some vital information. Be aware of this junk when looking at a car to buy. now a broken windshield will cost more than several month payments, and we will all be living in fear of the next rock chip.
