Porsche ADAS Calibration. From £162 Per System.
ACC warning on your 911, or an InnoDrive fault on a Taycan or Cayenne, after front-end work, and a dealer labour rate set for the badge. You pay per system calibrated, at the same network rate wherever you are in the UK. Your quote is confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
- Calibration runs to full manufacturer specification.
- A diagnostic scan, when your job needs one, is priced and itemised separately.
- Certificate to manufacturer tolerances, the same standard dealers issue.

Calibration — per system
Coding a replaced part to your vehicle
- When your job needs a diagnostic scan, it's £54 inc VAT (£45 +VAT), always itemised as its own line. It shows which systems were live before work started.
- Two or more systems in one visit: the highest-priced system is full price, each additional system is 35% off at a centre. Scans aren't part of the discount. Front camera and front radar together come to £267.30 inc VAT (£222.75 +VAT).
- A replaced camera or radar is coded to the vehicle and then calibrated, so a replacement job is the coding line above plus the calibration for that system, with the multi-system discount applied at a centre. Your written quote itemises both.
- On mobile trade visits only: if the technician attends and the calibration can't be completed, a sensor fitted misaligned for example, a call-out fee of up to £72 inc VAT (£60 +VAT) applies.
- Mobile calibration is available for garages and bodyshops with workshop conditions. Ask us.
Related ADAS warnings we cover
Porsche builds on VW Group platforms shared with Audi and Volkswagen, so the same sensor layouts and the same classes of calibration procedure tend to carry across the three marques. Each warning below has its own walkthrough.

'ACC deactivated' usually follows bumper or grille work that disturbs the front radar. The walkthrough covers the common triggers and what the radar calibration costs.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, for any Porsche with factory-fitted assistance systems: adaptive cruise, InnoDrive, Lane Keep Assist or the windscreen camera package. The coverage table above runs through the 992 911, 95B Macan, 9YA Cayenne, J1 Taycan, 971 Panamera and 718 Cayman. Bumper repair is the dominant trigger across the range, with windscreen replacement close behind on the Macan and Cayman.
Older cars with retrofitted systems are case-by-case. Send your registration and what's been done, and we'll confirm which systems your build carries and what each one costs to calibrate. Your quote is confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
Dealer labour rates are set by the badge over the door, not by what the calibration costs to deliver. The procedure on a 911 or Cayenne follows the same documented steps as any modern car: level floor, targets at factory spec, the diagnostic platform driving the sequence. Dealer quotes customers have shown us for ADAS work run £300 to £900, and owners of premium marques tell us theirs sit at the top of that range.
Our service centres run the manufacturer-spec procedure at the same network rate as every other make. Front camera calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT), front radar is the same, with the full rate card on this page. Two or more systems in one visit: the highest-priced system is full price and each additional system is 35% off at a centre. Same job, same post-calibration readings, same certificate. The gap is overhead, not what happens in the calibration bay.
If the windscreen carries the front camera, yes. On the Macan and Cayenne that camera feeds Lane Keep Assist, traffic sign recognition and the automatic high beam that works alongside PDLS. New glass shifts the camera's mounting position, even fractionally, and the camera has to be re-aimed to Porsche's documented procedure before those systems read straight again.
A typical Macan case looks like this: the glass company fits the screen, a camera or high beam warning appears on the first drive, and the fitter confirms calibration isn't part of their job. That last step is ours. At a centre the camera calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT), with the full rate card on this page. A diagnostic scan, when your job needs one, is priced and itemised separately.
InnoDrive and adaptive cruise both lean on the front radar behind the bumper, with the windscreen camera covering the lane and speed-limit side. Bumper off and back on, a new bracket, or post-collision panel work is enough to move the radar's aim. The car either flags it straight away or quietly restricts the systems until they're recalibrated.
What the fix costs depends on what the repair touched. A disturbed radar needs re-aiming: £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre. A replaced radar needs coding to the car plus the calibration: £232.80 inc VAT (£194 +VAT). One thing no centre can work around: a damaged or misaligned bracket has to be put right first, or the calibration won't hold. Tell us what the bodyshop did and your itemised quote comes back in writing.
No. Under the UK Block Exemption rules, an independent workshop can carry out the calibration without affecting the Porsche warranty or a Porsche service plan, provided it follows Porsche's documented procedure and uses equipment that meets the manufacturer's specification. That's the standard our centres work to.
For a Porsche the paperwork matters nearly as much as the work. Certificate to manufacturer tolerances, the same standard dealers issue. It records the procedure followed, the platform used and the post-job readings, and it sits on the car's service history alongside the dealer stamps. If the car is on an extended warranty or an approved-used programme, say so when you enquire and we'll confirm the documentation format with the centre before anything is booked.
