I just found this

‘How to’ guide for recalibrating ADAS replacement windscreens

Important piece of info if you have the safety pack on your 3008s. And any other car with it to..

somehow managed to post this thread twice and I don't know how to delete one of them.

Job for a mod?

I thought all the "safety" systems on the car used the radar which isn't behind the screen. The forward facing camera is just for speed sign recognition and to drop the high beam, and I can't see why they would need calibrating??

Thanks Storeman :lol:

Don't the camera in the screen read the speed signs and warn the driver as required? As far as I can see it's about that system so it's probably relevant .

What I meant was I can imagine calibrating a radar or lidar, but a camera I'd expect to continue to work without adjustment.

In the article there's a picture of what looks like a camera, so I guess that's what they're talking about too..

"...customers are becoming increasingly reliant on them"
Why?.
Don't they drive anymore?.

I thought the radar was in the front bumper, the black square just below the number plate. The one on the windscreen is just a camera i was told.

Think that's right Stuart.

That's my view of automatic transmissions!

I was under impression that the radar and camera system both works together.

Unfortunately some of us don't have the choice Olli. If I didn't have an automatic transmission I wouldn't be able to drive, go to work and would lose all my independence. I used to love driving manual cars but it's not an option anymore. I always said I could manage without an automatic but when I eventually gave in and had one I realised just how painful driving had become. I now have to drive an auto even though it costs quite a lot extra for the privilege!

Don't feel too bad Gill,
I'm a double-declutcher (crash box's) from way back and have secumbed to the wiles of the modern auto ......but I can and do still use the left one though.
I'm just grateful that we don't have the double clutch complexity of most European brands .

Thanks Dave. I have to confess to not having double declutched for many, many years and then it was only in my dad's old Austin A35 (if I remember rightly) that I used to drive on the beach in Wales. At the time I thought I'd never get the hang of such a complicated thing and I didn't need to as synchromesh came in by the time I was legally allowed to drive

I'm starting to wonder for how much longer the manual option will survive in any case Gill.

I'm sorry if you found my comment offensive. The point of my tongue-in-cheek comment to another poster was that even if you think that some piece of modern technology is pointless, some other people much might enjoy using it.

I know I'm regarded as old fashioned due to the fact that I always want my cars with manual transmission, but I enjoy driving more that way. I can accept that other people have valid reasons for choosing automatic gearbox.
