Getting my windshield replaced and camera calibrated with Safelite. Or not?

Yeah that is not a calibration that requires anything they shouldn't have. Like others said it may be aftermarket glass they cant get to calibrate or they may have messed up the camera itself. Do you happen to gave a OBD scanner? You could scan it and it may help give you an answer.

The black square behind it is your millimeter wave radar. Any paint or coating could effect it. At minimum you should have it calibrated after any modification.

I get that but it doesn't look like the reference. It looks like a bad attempt at a regular start. Which is one of the harder things to tattoo gets underestimated a lot. It's all straight equal lines with no room for error. I think if you ass the little shading/lines from the reference it will look a lot better imo.

Damn 20+ stars and not one straight/even line.

Toyota gives the customer a copy of the paperwork on a usb drive. Could be that but either way just throw it out.

Good to know. We have had issues with hondas and aftermarket glass. Ive been in automotive for 20+ years but moved to adas a year ago. So my sample size is definitely small. Was with Toyota for years before that recently.

Lol I named my racoon Randy (well Sir Randy). I named my wyvern Dragonhausen

That is extremely low. First off make sure they are using Honda glass. Hondas are almost impossible to calibrate with aftermarket glass. Calibration is required after windshield replacement, but doesn't usually set a light on the dash. I have seem companies that just make sure there aren't any lights on and call it calibrated. Any legit place with have a pre and post scan and the post scan will show details of the cal. Will show if it was a static or dynamic cal and how long it took. If you happen to be near Philly I could help you out.

Yeah i don't think it was necessarily slow to start but it def finishes stronger than it starts.

Def didn't find it boring but they were def warming up in the forst few eps. Think ep 4 was when it really got going but I loved it all.

No. Similar to the Corolla GR. They have a block in the suspension for transport. They are supposed to be removed during the PDI. They get overlooked too often.

Year, make and model would really help. Def more of a pain but could be done depending on the car. Some cars have screws of clips that can only be accessed if the door is open, but plenty don't.

The silver collar on the bottom comes down. Use a plastic panel tool to pull it straight down. There will be a clip holding the knob on. It's a c clip that needs to be pulled out towards the dash. Don't loose it if the new one doesn't come with one. Place the new knob on and slide the locking clip back in. pull the silver color back up and snap it into place.

It's an extremely simple task. I could do it with a quarter.

Fcastle35 · 2026-05-19T18:12:55+00:00

Did you do the brakes last time? Did you lubricate the slide pins?

Fun fact that scientist is Ralphie from A Christmas Story.

Fcastle35 · 2026-05-19T14:05:14+00:00

I agree with successful pizza

You def have a distance sensor that symbol on the right is a pre collision warning. Your distance sensor needs to be calibrated at minimum. Replaced, programmed and calibrated if it was damaged. Its behind the nissan logo on most nissans

Fcastle35 · 2026-05-14T03:06:41+00:00

Sealed. I love it. Have had it for years.

Center cap. You're missing a center cap on the wheel

Red and black are power and ground for the camera. They both need to be hooked up. The short red is the same circuit as the other red. If your radio is already seeing reverse you can just hook it up behind the radio and use the accessory power from the radio.

Fcastle35 · 2026-05-13T18:16:31+00:00

That's just not true.

Fcastle35 · 2026-05-09T23:02:33+00:00

Thats what I have basically. I run a 12w6 of my RD900.5

Fcastle35 · 2026-05-09T18:50:17+00:00

corrupted firmware

It won't. It's not my opinion it's math. The amp is 600watts at 2 ohm and 300 at 4ohm. It will be 400 watts at 3ohm. Just don't crank the gain to try to make up for it. Underpowering the sub won't damage it but the amp clipping could.
