Ford ADAS calibration, module repair and programming

Find your exact vehicle Pick a Ford model and year before reading the technical guide.

Ford’s leadership in integrated ADAS technology is centered on the sophisticated Co-Pilot360 suite and BlueCruise hands-free systems. These platforms rely on a complex network of Image Processing Modules (IPMA), Rearward-Facing Radars (SODL/SODR), and 360-degree cameras. As Ford evolves its module architecture and the shift to 128-bit encryption, generic "plug-and-play" solutions often fall short. We bridge this gap, specializing in the deep level programming and the precise static or dynamic calibration required to ensure these advanced platforms maintain factory-level accuracy following any repair, collision, or modification.
