On supported BMW vehicles, Active Cruise Control may require a Radar Sensor: Static Start-Up procedure before the vehicle can be returned to the customer. Without the correct coverage, the job may need to be sent elsewhere, adding delays, outsourcing costs, and disruption to your workflow.

The latest Snap-on® diagnostic software adds this coverage for more BMW models, helping technicians complete more ACC-related repairs in-house, maintain control of the repair process and return vehicles to customers with confidence.

The repair is nearly complete.

Without the correct calibration function, the vehicle may still need to be sent to a third party, adding delays, administrative work and potentially lost revenue.

The latest Snap-on® diagnostic software adds Front RADAR Dynamic Aiming coverage for 2024+ Mazda CX-50 and CX-90 vehicles. This allows technicians to complete more ADAS repairs in-house, directly from a supported diagnostic platform.

Because Dynamic Aiming does not require a physical target, shops can complete the required recalibration efficiently, keep control of the repair and return vehicles to customers sooner.
