Calibration Tool - VAS6350A- with Peripheral Camera Calibration Device -VAS6350A/6-, Installing and Aligning

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

• Calibration Tool - VAS6350A-
• Peripheral Camera Calibration Device - VAS6350A/6-
• Calibration Tool - R8 Wheel Adapters - VAS6350/5- for rims with a large offset, for example the Audi RS 6
• Vehicle Diagnostic Tester

After performing service work on the vehicle, it may be necessary to calibrate the peripheral camera system. In detail, this is the case after:

• Replacing one or more cameras
• Replace Peripheral Camera Control Module - J928- (all cameras need tobe calibrated)
• Repair work on components in which a camera is installed or that influence the component location of the camera
• After wheel alignments
• When adjusting the overlap range of the individual cameras

All cameras must be calibrated if the Peripheral Camera Control Module - J928- is replaced.

Calibration Requirements 

• The camera lens must be clean. Cleaning
• Check the camera images on the Front Information Display Control Head - J685-. Replace the camera if the images are unclear because the camera has been damaged. Check the fastener for the camera if the image is low.
• Make sure both exterior rearview mirrors are folded out.
• The vehicle must be standing on a firm and level surface.
• There must be enough clearance around the vehicle (at least 2 meters).
• If the vehicle has an air suspension, turn on "Auto" and drive the vehicle at "standard vehicle height" onto Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
• The parking brake must be set.
• The steering wheel must be in the 0 position and the wheels must be straight.
• All doors and the rear lid must be closed.
• No one should be in the vehicle.
• The vehicle must not be loaded (curb weight).
• Connect the battery charger.
• Ignition switched on.
• The system is active and is displayed on the Front Information Display Control Head - J685-.
• Do not move the vehicle during the calibration process.

Calibrate the cameras in the following sequence: 

• Front Peripheral Camera - R243-
• Rear Peripheral Camera - R246-
• Left Peripheral Camera - R244-
• Right Peripheral Camera - R245-

The Calibration Tool - VAS6350A- consists of the following parts: 

• Calibration field
• Calibration Tool - Wheel Center Mountings - VAS6350/1-
• Calibration Tool - Spacing Laser - VAS6350/2-
• Calibration Tool - Linear Laser - VAS6350/3-

The Night Vision Calibration Tool - VAS6350A/6- is comprised of the following components: 

• Left Post With Plate - VAS6350A/6-1-
• Right Post With Plate - VAS6350A/6-2-
• Left Post Mount - VAS6350A/6-3-
• Right Post Mount - VAS6350A/6-4-
• Peripheral Camera Calibration Device - Guide Pin -VAS6350A/6-5-
• Line Laser Mount - VAS6350A/6-6-

Overview -VAS6350A- with -VAS6350A/6- 

The -VAS6350A/6-1- and -VAS6350A/6-2- must be vertical.

• Move the calibration field on the -VAS6350A- into a horizontal position.
• To do so, twist plastic feet under the calibration field of the -VAS6350A- so that air bubble in level is located exactly in the center of the indicator -arrow-

• Set the -VAS6350A/6-1- -1- and the -VAS6350A/6-2- -2- on both sides to the dimension -B- 77.5 of the scale on the -VAS6350A-.
• Adjust the height of the -VAS6350A/6-1- -1- and -VAS6350A/ 6-2- -2- so that dimension -A- is 150 mm between the lower edge of the black measuring field (not of the aluminum frame!) and the surface of the -VAS6350A- calibration field.

The corners on the outside of the -VAS6350A- calibration field must always be flush with the outer edge of the black line on the measuring field when performing distance measuring.
