Volkswagen ADAS calibration & coding

Volkswagen's assistance systems are household names by now - Front Assist emergency braking, Lane Assist and, on newer cars, Travel Assist, which combines them with adaptive cruise. They all hang off a windscreen camera and front radar, and VW is precise about how those sensors are put right after a windscreen replacement, accident repair or suspension work.

Many Volkswagen Group cars need a static calibration: a target board positioned to millimetre accuracy in controlled workshop conditions. Our Scunthorpe and Rotherham centres are set up for exactly that, and some models add a dynamic road calibration on top. Either way the work is done with genuine Volkswagen dealer software - the laptop in the photo is running it - through our camera and radar calibration services.

Newer VWs also protect their diagnostics behind a secure gateway, and unlocking it is part of our normal workflow - protected cars are calibrated and coded, not turned away. Petrol, diesel, hybrid or the electric ID range, the discipline is the same.

VW shares its platforms across the group, so much of this applies equally to Audi, Škoda and Cupra - each has its own page.
