Which ADAS Targets You Need: Matching Patterns to the Cars You See

A calibration frame arrives with a laser and a set of lane departure targets. It does not arrive with the pattern for the Subaru in bay two, and the Honda target that fits one frame may not fit another. Targets are bought per make, sometimes per system within a make, and the same target is sold in two versions at two prices depending on which frame it mounts to. This guide covers what GT Tools sells, target by target, what each one costs, and how to decide which ones belong in your shop.

Which Frame You Own Changes Which Target You Buy

Before any of the prices below are useful, settle which frame is in your bay. Targets come in two compatibilities: the MA600, which is the collapsible mobile frame, and the standard calibration frame. Some fit both, but many are sold as separate products for each.

The Honda lane departure target is a good example.

Target	Frame	Price
Honda LDWIII CSC0601-24M	MA600	$195.00
Honda LDWIII CSC0601-24	Standard	$350.00

Prices checked 30 September 2026.

Same vehicle, same system, two products. The standard frame version is $350.00 compared with $195.00 for the MA600, a difference of $155.00 for what a technician might well describe as the same target.

The pattern repeats on the bigger expansion packages. Radar calibration for the standard frame is $4,104.00. The same capability for the MA600 is $4,783.00, which is $679.00 more. Night vision, on the other hand, costs the same either way, at $2,170.00 for either the standard frame or the MA600.

There is no rule here that saves you from checking. Read the product title before you order, because the frame is usually in it.

Camera and Lane Departure Targets, by Make

These are the targets behind the most common calibration after a windshield job: the forward-facing camera.

Target	Frame	Price
Honda LDWIII	MA600	$195.00
Toyota LDW	MA600	$205.00
Mercedes LDW	Standard	$245.00
Honda LDWIII	Standard	$350.00
Maserati camera targets	Both	$395.00
Mazda, left and right	Standard	$435.00
Subaru LDW, 3 pack	Standard	$625.00
Tesla camera pattern	Standard	$781.00
Subaru pattern board	Standard	$825.00
Subaru pattern board, LDW frame	LDW frame	$825.00
Honda Lanewatch	Standard	$1,120.00

Prices checked 30 September 2026.

Subaru has three separate products. A pattern board at $825.00, a second pattern board for the LDW frame at the same $825.00, and a three-pack of mono camera wide-angle LDW targets at $625.00. A shop that services a lot of Subarus is not making just one purchase. Confirm which product or products you need before ordering any of them.

Honda has two systems, not one. The LDWIII target covers lane departure. Lanewatch is a separate target at $1,120.00. If the car in front of you has both systems, you buy both targets.

The Maserati target is the one that fits both frames. At $395.00 it is the only camera target in this list sold as a single product for the standard frame and the MA600.

Around-View Monitoring Is a Separate Purchase

Around-view monitoring is the 360 degree camera system, and its calibration patterns are sold per manufacturer rather than as one product.

AVM pattern	Price
Volkswagen CSC1004-01	$845.00
Porsche CSC1004-07	$1,050.00
Ford CSC1004-05	$1,795.00

Prices checked 30 September 2026.

Buying all three is $3,690.00, which is more than half the cost of the AVM camera calibration package at $6,203.00. That package covers more makes than these three, so the arithmetic is worth doing against your own vehicle mix rather than assuming either direction is cheaper.

All three are printed patterns, so storage matters as much as the purchase. A crease or a scuff can change what the camera reads.

Radar and Night Vision

Radar and night vision are sold as expansion packages rather than single targets, and each comes in a standard frame version and an MA600 version.

Package	Standard frame	MA600
Radar calibration	$4,104.00	$4,783.00
Night vision	$2,170.00	$2,170.00

If you would rather buy the radar components individually, the corner reflector with stand is $860.00 on its own.

The Accessories That Make a Frame Work

These are the items that sit between the frame and a finished calibration. None of them are targets, and all of them are the sort of thing a shop discovers it wants in the first month.

Item	Price	What it does
Laser reflector target	$75.00	Gives the positioning laser a surface to read
Volvo camera and radar leveling tools	$92.00	Leveling for applicable Volvo vehicles
Height booster	$300.00	Raises the standard frame for use with a range of alignment racks
Five line laser	$315.00	Positioning
MA600 travel cases, set of 4	$475.00	Transport and storage for a mobile setup
Digital ADAS package	$600.00	Three digital tape measures and two wheel dials
MA600 mounting plate	$715.00	Mounting for the MA600
ADAS accessory package	$930.00	Bundled accessories

Two of these change how a calibration goes rather than whether it can happen at all. The digital ADAS package at $600.00 replaces a tape measure and a floor mark with three digital tape measures and two wheel dials, which is the difference between measuring the setup and reading it. The height booster at $300.00 is the item that lets a standard frame work over an alignment rack, which matters if the same bay does both jobs. Our guide to running ADAS calibration and wheel alignment on one frame covers that combination.

The travel cases that cost $475.00 belong on a mobile setup. Targets are printed surfaces, and a target that has been sliding around a van floor is one you need to really check out thoroughly before using again.

Three Things to Check Before You Order

A target ordered for the wrong frame will sit on a shelf while you wait for the right one to arrive, and the car is in your bay now.

Check the frame in the product title. Most of these listings name the frame they fit. The Honda targets are a clean example: one title carries CSC0601-24M and the other CSC0601-24, and they are $155.00 apart. When a title says a target is compatible with both frames, as the Maserati one does, it says so explicitly.

Check whether the vehicle has more than one camera. Honda is the clearest case, with lane departure and Lanewatch calibrating against different targets at $195.00 and $1,120.00. A quote built on one target and a job that turns out to need two can lead to a bad afternoon.

Check the package before buying targets one at a time. Three around-view patterns bought individually come to $3,690.00. The AVM camera calibration package is $6,203.00 and covers more makes than three. Somewhere between three patterns and the package there is a crossover point, and where it falls depends entirely on which makes and models you are servicing.

Which Targets to Buy First

Work from your own repair orders rather than from a catalog. Pull the last two months, count the makes, and buy against that order.

Start with the vehicle makes you see weekly. For most shops that is Honda and Toyota, and on the MA600 those two targets together are $400.00. On the standard frame the Honda alone is $350.00.

Add the make that costs you a sublet. If Subaru or Tesla is the one you keep sending out, one target ends that. The Tesla pattern is $781.00 and the Subaru three-pack is $625.00, both of which a shop recovers in a handful of jobs it stops subletting.

Treat around-view as a second decision. The three AVM patterns are $845.00 to $1,795.00 each, and they only matter if you service 360 camera systems. Add up how many you have turned away.

Buy the positioning accessories early. The laser reflector at $75.00 and the five line laser at $315.00 affect every calibration you do, not one make.

Here’s a detailed example, for a shop on an MA600 that mostly sees Honda, Toyota and Subaru. The Honda target is $195.00, the Toyota is $205.00, the Subaru three-pack is $625.00, the laser reflector is $75.00 and the five line laser is $315.00. That comes to $1,415.00 and covers the forward-facing camera work on three of the most common makes on an American road, with the positioning kit to do it accurately. Radar, night vision and around-view are all decisions for later, and each of them is a four-figure step of its own.

The number that should drive the order is not on this page. It is what you currently pay to sublet a calibration, multiplied by how many you send out a month. Every target above either stops some of that or it does not.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are ADAS calibration targets universal or vehicle specific?

Vehicle specific, and often system specific within a vehicle. There are separate targets for Honda, Toyota, Mercedes, Mazda, Maserati, Subaru and Tesla, from $195.00 to $1,120.00. Honda alone has two, because the lane departure camera and the Lanewatch mirror camera calibrate against different targets.

Does the same target work on any calibration frame?

Not usually. Most targets are sold in a version for the MA600 mobile frame and a version for the standard frame. The Honda LDWIII is $195.00 for the MA600 and $350.00 for the standard frame. Check the frame named in the product title before ordering. The Maserati camera targets at $395.00 are one of the few sold for both.

How much does an AVM calibration target cost?

Between $845.00 and $1,795.00 per manufacturer. Volkswagen is $845.00, Porsche is $1,050.00 and Ford is $1,795.00. All three together come to $3,690.00, against $6,203.00 for the AVM camera calibration package, which covers more makes.

What do I need for radar calibration?

A radar expansion package, which is $4,104.00 for the standard frame and $4,783.00 for the MA600. If you already have most of the components, the corner reflector with stand is $860.00 separately.

How should ADAS targets be stored?

Flat, dry and protected. Targets and patterns are printed surfaces, and a crease or a scuff can change what the camera reads. For a mobile setup the MA600 travel cases are $475.00 for a set of four. Inspect a target before you use it rather than after a calibration fails.

Do I need the digital measuring tools?

No, but they change the job. The digital ADAS package at $600.00 supplies three digital tape measures and two wheel dials in place of manual measurement. It affects every calibration rather than one make, which is the argument for buying it early.

Can I use a standard frame over an alignment rack?

With the height booster at $300.00, which is described as enabling use with a range of alignment racks. That is the item to check first if one bay handles both alignment and calibration.
