FAQS

• How do I know what patterns and calibration procedures to use?

  The Autel MaxiSys ADAS Calibration Application software provides graphic step-by-step instructions that are vehicle model specific to confirm the correct patterns are used during the correct calibration procedures. Your MaxiSys software confirms this information is correct, based on the vehicle information confirmed from the AutoSCAN feature, to confirm which active ADAS modules in any vehicle system may need a calibration procedure completed.

   

• Does the MSADAS tablet provide other scan tool functions than ADAS calibration?

  a. Yes, the MSADAS provides all the same diagnostic and maintence services as the MS908SP, including Pre / Post Scanning

• Do I need a new scan tool for ADAS calibration, if I already have an existing MS908 / MS908P / MS908S / MS908SP / MS908E?

  a. You can purchase an ADAS UPGRADE to add ADAS capabilities to your existing Autel MaxiSys scan tool.

  b. If you do not have an Autel scan tool, then you should purchase an MSADAS scan tool package for best value.

• Can I purchase just the ADAS application upgrade without the calibration frame to complete ADAS calibration procedures?

  a. No, the MaxiSys ADAS application requires a code (QR code scan) from the calibration frame to activate the software.

  a. LDW, LKA, ACC (forward looking only) - You need the LDW kit (ADS-LDWPACKAGE)

  b. AVM, RCW, RCA (around view / 360 view / rear looking) - You need the Complete Kit (ADS-ADASCOMPLETE)

  c. Night Vision, Radar (includes Blind Spot etc.) - Also in the Complete Kit (ADS-ADASCOMPLETE)

  *can be added as additional accessories to the LDW kit

• Do I need someone to assemble and or set up the calibration frame?

• Are training options necessary for working on ADAS calibrations?

  a. No, The MSADAS software features step by step illustrated instructions for placing the calibration frame and targets.

  b. If a customer requests general ADAS training, I-CAR, CTI, and AutoTech have ADAS classes utilizing the Autel tool.

• Other than a clear 30 foot x 15 foot area, what are the other working shop bay requirements to complete ADAS calibrations?
