Target Not Included? OEM Instructions Give You the Measurements | Lexus LX 570
What do you do when the target you need wasn't included with your ADAS equipment?
On this 2018 Lexus LX 570, Toyota's documentation gave us the measurements needed to recreate the 360 and camera targets required for the calibration.
Instead of stopping because a target wasn't in the base kit, we followed the OE information, built what we needed, and prepared the vehicle for radar and camera calibration.
The bigger lesson:
Sometimes the procedure gives you more than the equipment does.

Key Insights
Not every ADAS kit includes every target you may eventually need.
Toyota documentation can provide dimensions needed to reproduce certain calibration targets.
Understanding the procedure can sometimes reduce your dependence on proprietary equipment.
The target is only one part of the process; vehicle preparation, layout and measurement still matter.
OE information should be reviewed before assuming you're missing a required solution.
Closing Statement
Missing equipment doesn't always mean you're stuck.
Sometimes the manufacturer already gave you the information needed to solve the problem.
You just have to read it.
