Bosch CTA511-1 Mercedes Rear View Floor Mat Target — DAS 3000 ADAS Calibration Accessory

If your shop does windshield replacements, collision repairs, or camera R&R on Mercedes-Benz vehicles, you already know that rear-view camera recalibration isn't optional — it's a required step before returning the vehicle to the customer. The Bosch CTA511-1 is the Mercedes-specific rear-view camera floor mat target designed for use with the Bosch DAS 3000 ADAS recalibration system. This is not a universal target. It is engineered for the Mercedes-Benz rear camera calibration procedure, used on the rear of the vehicle, placed flat on the floor behind the car during static calibration.

What This Target Does

During a Mercedes rear-view camera recalibration, the DAS 3000 system guides the technician through a static calibration procedure. The CTA511-1 floor mat target is placed at the correct distance and alignment behind the vehicle. The camera looks at this target, and the DAS 3000 software reads the image data to verify and reset the camera's reference frame. Without the correct target, the system cannot complete calibration. The pattern on this mat is vehicle-brand-specific — a Mercedes calibration requires a Mercedes target, not a generic board.

When You Need This Target

• Rear windshield or glass replacement — any time the rear camera view is disrupted or the camera is removed and reinstalled
• Collision repair — rear-end damage that affects camera alignment, mounting position, or the surrounding body structure
• Camera unit replacement — new camera modules require recalibration before the system will function correctly
• Suspension or chassis work — repairs that change vehicle ride height or rear geometry may require camera recalibration per Mercedes service procedures

DAS 3000 System Compatibility

The CTA511-1 is a component of the Bosch DAS 3000 ADAS calibration ecosystem. It works with the DAS 3000 recalibration fixture and frame, guided by the Bosch ADS 525X or ADS 625X scan tool with ADAS software. The Bosch ADAS Positioning (BAP) System is used to set the fixture at the correct distance and thrust-angle alignment before calibration begins. This target does not work as a standalone item — it requires the full DAS 3000 setup.

Who Needs This

• Mercedes-Benz dealers and authorized service centers doing camera work in-house
• Independent shops that specialize in European vehicles and already own or are building out a DAS 3000 kit
• Collision centers that handle Mercedes repairs and need to complete in-house ADAS calibration rather than subcontracting it
• Mobile ADAS calibration operators expanding their Mercedes coverage

If you're running a DAS 3000 and doing Mercedes rear camera work without this target, you're either subcontracting the calibration or skipping it — neither is a good long-term answer for a shop that wants to own the full repair.

What's in the Box

• CTA511-1 Mercedes Rear View Camera Floor Mat Target (1 unit)

This is a single target mat. If your DAS 3000 kit requires additional CTA-series boards or targets for other Mercedes systems or other vehicle brands, those are sold separately. Contact us to confirm which targets your specific procedures require.

Important Notes on ADAS Targets

Calibration targets are precision-printed to exact specifications. Do not substitute, laminate over, or attempt to reproduce this target — the DAS 3000 system relies on the optical properties and pattern geometry of the OEM-spec target. Store flat, away from direct sunlight, and inspect before each use for creasing or damage that could affect calibration accuracy.
