BMW ADAS Systems

BMW windshield replacement ADAS calibration services in the USA can involve both static and dynamic calibration, depending on the specific ADAS systems that are impacted by the windshield replacement.

Static calibration involves using specialized equipment to calibrate the sensors and cameras while the vehicle is stationary. This type of calibration is typically used for ADAS systems that rely on cameras or sensors that are mounted on the windshield, such as lane departure warning, collision avoidance, and forward collision warning systems.

Dynamic calibration involves calibrating the ADAS systems while the vehicle is in motion. This type of calibration is typically used for ADAS systems that rely on sensors or cameras that are mounted on other parts of the vehicle, such as the rearview mirror, bumper, or side mirrors. Examples of such systems include adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, and rear cross-traffic alert.

The specific ADAS systems that are impacted by a windshield replacement can vary depending on the make and model of the BMW vehicle. However, typically, the following systems may be impacted by a windshield replacement:

  1. Lane departure warning: This system uses cameras mounted on the windshield to detect lane markings and provide a warning if the vehicle drifts out of its lane.

  2. Collision avoidance: This system uses cameras or radar sensors to detect obstacles and alert the driver or automatically apply the brakes to avoid a collision.

  3. Forward collision warning: This system uses cameras or radar sensors to detect potential collisions and provide a warning to the driver.

  4. Adaptive cruise control: This system uses radar sensors to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you and automatically adjusts the speed of the vehicle.

  5. Blind spot detection: This system uses radar sensors or cameras to detect vehicles in the blind spot and provide a warning to the driver.

  6. Rear cross-traffic alert: This system uses radar sensors or cameras to detect vehicles approaching from the rear while backing up and provide a warning to the driver.

In summary, BMW windshield replacement ADAS calibration services in the USA can involve both static and dynamic calibration, depending on the specific ADAS systems impacted by the windshield replacement. The systems that may be impacted include lane departure warning, collision avoidance, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, and rear cross-traffic alert.
