Launch Tech USA X-431 ADAS VW Night Vision Calibration Target (LAC06-01)

The LAC06-01 is a Volkswagen-specific night vision calibration target designed for the Launch X-431 ADAS calibration system. If your shop works on VW vehicles equipped with night vision assist systems, this is the target you need to complete static ADAS recalibration after camera R&R, windshield replacement, or any front-end repair that disturbs the night vision sensor's alignment.

This is not a universal target. It is purpose-built for Volkswagen's night vision camera system and works within the Launch ADAS frame ecosystem — specifically the X-431 ADAS Mobile or standard ADAS frame. Without the correct brand-specific target, the calibration software cannot perform a valid static cal on this system. Using a generic or wrong-brand target is not a workaround; it produces an invalid result.

What This Target Does

• Vehicle Coverage: Volkswagen models equipped with factory night vision assist (infrared camera-based driver assistance). Exact model-year coverage is available on request — confirm your specific VW application before ordering.
• Calibration Type: Static ADAS calibration using the Launch X-431 ADAS frame and software. The target mounts to or is positioned in front of the vehicle at a specified distance and height determined by the calibration software.
• System Targeted: VW night vision camera. This system uses an infrared camera, typically mounted behind the windshield or in the front grille area, to detect pedestrians and animals at night beyond normal headlight range.
• Part of the LAC-Series: The LAC06-01 is one of many brand-specific targets in Launch's LAC lineup. Each LAC target is engineered to the pattern, size, and reflectivity required by that manufacturer's calibration specification.

When Is Night Vision Calibration Required?

• Windshield replacement on VW vehicles with a night vision camera mounted at or near the glass
• Camera removal or replacement during any repair procedure
• Front-end collision repair that may have shifted the camera mounting position
• Software updates that require recalibration per VW service procedures
• Any time the VW night vision system warning lamp is active after a repair

What You Need to Use This Target

The LAC06-01 is an accessory target — it does not function as a standalone unit. To perform a complete VW night vision calibration, you need:

• Launch X-431 ADAS calibration frame (standard or Mobile version)
• X-431 Throttle Professional or compatible scan tool with ADAS software license
• Wheel clamps and alignment equipment to position the frame correctly relative to the vehicle
• A level calibration surface with adequate space per Launch's setup requirements

If you are building out your ADAS capability and do not yet have the base frame and scan tool, contact us — we can quote the full system or the specific configuration that fits your VW workload.

Who Needs the LAC06-01

This target makes sense for shops that regularly service Volkswagen vehicles and handle windshield or camera work. Independent shops taking on VW ADAS repairs, VW dealership service departments, and glass shops adding calibration services to their VW workflow are the primary buyers. If you only occasionally see a VW night vision car, you may be better served by a multi-brand ADAS service that owns this target — but if VW is a regular part of your car count, having the correct target in-house keeps calibration in-shop rather than sublet.
