We attempted an adaptive cruise / radar calibration on a Nissan Kicks — but the calibration failed because the customer installed a clone/aftermarket radar from eBay. In this Short we show the failed calibration steps, why OEM (or high-quality OEM-equivalent) radars are important for ADAS systems, and what shops look for when troubleshooting radar faults.
If you’re having radar errors, cruise control problems, or dashboard ADAS warnings after a windshield or sensor replacement, this video explains:
• What a radar calibration looks like
• How clone/cheap eBay radars can cause failures
• Why proper parts and certified calibration matter for safety
