Joe Keene, automotive content video producer at Babcox Media, performs a forward-facing camera calibration on a 2022 Subaru Outback after the windshield has been replaced. This video is sponsored by Hunter Engineering Co.
For some ADAS calibrations, the challenges aren’t in the calibrations themselves, but in the details of preparation.

As Babcox Media’s Joe Keene shows for this forward-facing camera calibration following a windshield replacement on a Stellantis vehicle, the procedure itself requires little more than driving. But first the technician will need to perform a few necessary tasks, such as ensuring a completed FCA registration. Additionally, prior to driving the vehicle, the technician must select a route that avoids stopping, which will negate the calibration in progress. Internet access must also be maintained throughout the procedure.
When ADAS components are repaired, there are additional steps that need to be taken for the calibrations to be complete.
Merely reprogramming or replacing a particular ADAS component isn’t always enough.
The onscreen guidance of ADASLink eliminates guesswork and ensures a precise and thoroughly documented calibration.
The Torque Link includes Tech 2 Tech remote diagnostics, which allows techs to collaborate on complex repairs.
