Bosch VAG 360 Gen 2 Floor Mat Target — VAG ADAS Camera Calibration for the DAS 3000

If your shop handles windshield replacements, front-end repairs, or camera R&R on Volkswagen Group vehicles — Audi, Volkswagen, SEAT, ŠKODA, or Porsche — the Bosch VAG 360 Gen 2 Floor Mat Target (CTA500-1) is the vehicle-specific calibration target that makes those jobs complete. This is not a universal board. It is engineered specifically for VAG-platform vehicles and mounts to the Bosch DAS 3000 ADAS calibration frame as part of a guided, static recalibration workflow.

What This Target Does in the Shop

Modern VAG vehicles use front-facing cameras — and in many configurations, surround-view and 360-degree camera systems — that require precise static calibration after any of the following events:

• Windshield replacement — The forward-facing camera mounts to the glass. Replace the glass, recalibrate the camera.
• Camera removal or reinstallation — Any time the camera is unbolted, the aim is suspect. Static calibration restores the baseline.
• Front-end collision repair — Suspension geometry changes affect camera aim geometry. Calibration is required after any front-end structural repair.
• ADAS system faults — Many VAG scan tool fault codes will not clear without a completed calibration cycle.

The floor mat component of this kit positions beneath the vehicle during calibration. It works in conjunction with the DAS 3000 frame's wheel-hub thrust-angle alignment markers and on-screen guided instructions from the paired Bosch ADS 525X or ADS 625X scan tool. The system tells you where to stand the fixture, how to align it, and when calibration is complete — no guesswork, no measuring tape estimating.

VAG 360 Gen 2 — What Changed From Gen 1

The Gen 2 version of this target reflects updated calibration requirements from Volkswagen Group as vehicle model years have expanded their ADAS feature sets. If you are already running the DAS 3000 with an older VAG target, confirm with Bosch or with us whether your current software version requires the Gen 2 board for accurate coverage of newer model years. Running an outdated target board on current VAG platforms risks an incomplete or incorrect calibration — which is worse than no calibration at all from a liability standpoint.

System Compatibility — What You Need to Use This Target

This target board is an accessory, not a standalone system. To perform VAG ADAS calibrations you need:

• Bosch DAS 3000 calibration frame — The structural fixture that holds this target at the correct height and angle
• Bosch ADS 525X or ADS 625X scan tool — Provides the guided calibration workflow and communicates with the vehicle
• Bosch ADAS Positioning (BAP) System (where required by vehicle procedure) — Confirms frame placement relative to wheel thrust angle
• This target (CTA500-1) — The VAG-specific pattern board the vehicle camera reads during static calibration

Who Needs This Target Specifically

This target makes sense if your shop sees a consistent volume of VAG-platform vehicles. Independent shops in markets with strong German car ownership, VW dealer-authorized service centers, collision repair facilities with VAG insurance work, and Euro-specialist shops running Audi or Porsche clientele are the primary buyers. At $1,584, this is not an impulse purchase — but if you are turning away VAG ADAS calibration jobs or subcontracting them out, the math works quickly.
