How BMW Active Driving Assistant sees the road
BMW's Active Driving Assistant reads the road through a camera at the top of the windshield, working with radar on many models. It handles lane departure warning, collision warning and city braking on equipped cars, and the head-up display can show its alerts on the glass. Because the camera looks through the windshield, the glass and the camera's aim go together.
When the BMW windshield is replaced, the camera views the road through a new pane at a slightly different angle. Calibration resets its aim so the warnings and braking act on accurate readings.
Camera at the top
The BMW camera sits at the top of the windshield behind a cover near the mirror.
Lane departure warning
BMW lane departure warning watches the painted lines through the windshield camera on a 3 Series or X5.
Collision warning
Collision warning and city braking watch the road ahead through the same camera.
Alerts on the HUD
On HUD-equipped BMWs, driver-assist alerts can show on the windshield.

When a BMW needs camera calibration
A BMW with Active Driving Assistant needs its windshield camera calibrated after a new windshield, and after the camera or its bracket is removed. We plan the BMW calibration with your windshield appointment, and a 3 Series, X3 or X5 glazed by another shop can be calibrated by us separately.
BMW calibration uses a target set in front of the car or a drive on clearly marked roads, depending on the model. If the spot cannot support the procedure, we explain before starting and arrange the next step.

What changes a BMW calibration quote
A BMW camera calibration rides along with a new windshield, or stands alone when an X3 or iX was glazed elsewhere. The model, the driver-assist options and BMW's procedure set the work.
Driver-assist options
BMWs with more camera features can need more calibration steps.
Target or drive
A target setup needs level ground and space, while a drive needs marked roads.
Glass from elsewhere
If an X5 was glazed by another shop, the camera step is priced on its own.
Camera cover
A damaged BMW camera cover or bracket is fixed before the camera is aimed.
BMW camera calibration coverage in Arizona and Florida
Calibrating the camera belongs to the BMW windshield job, so it usually goes on the windshield claim. In Arizona that windshield is fully covered only with the full glass option, and Florida comprehensive waives the windshield deductible. BMW owners in Phoenix, Tucson, Tampa or Orlando hear from us early whether the camera needs recalibration, which glass companies in both states are expected to tell you.
General info, not legal or insurance advice — coverage varies by policy.
How a BMW calibration visit works
We inspect the BMW windshield, camera cover and bracket, connect the diagnostic tool and run the camera calibration for your model. The target setup or road drive is completed, and we confirm Active Driving Assistant shows no warnings before finishing.
