DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS
Tool Review
Hunter Engineering
ADASLink Calibration Tool
Reviewed by Scott Brown, owner/technician at Connie
& Dick's Auto Service Center Inc. in Claremont, California
Q: How did the equipment function
as far as saving you time?
A: The tool coupled with the latest
Hunter Engineering Hawkeye Elite
wheel alignment system does a remarkable
job of not only handing off
the ADAS calibration procedure to the
scan tool/ADAS calibration equipment
but also produces a comprehensive
report that documents what was done
to the vehicle and why.
Q: How easy was it to use?
A: Once the alignment machine is
properly tied to the ADASLink tablet,
all you need to do is follow the instructions
provided, but you still need
to have access to service information
systems so you can carry out specific
procedures called out within the workflow
by the ADASLink.
Q: How was its packaging? Did it
come with any accessories?
A: The tablet is the Bosch ADS625x
coupled with a wireless VCI. It comes
with a nice docking station that hosts
and charges the tablet and VCI.
Q: What features did you like?
A: I love the fact that the Hunter alignment
machine sends a procedures
requirement list to the tool. And when
the technician hits the " Requested
Procedures List " on the
ADASLink, it provides
a list of vehicles to
connect to in order to
carry out the ADAS
calibration procedures.
Once that's done, the Hunter Aligner
automatically couplesthe alignment
report with the ADAS calibration
documentation and the DTC pre-post
scan report.
Q: Is there any way you could think
to improve or add to this tool?
A: While in certain modes within
the scan tool, I found a screenshot
button to be very helpful so that I
can help train fellow technicians. But
some screens don't have that screenshot
button. Also, on the calibration
success screen, it would be nice to
have the time, date, and VIN, so that
any screenshots taken could carry
better context.
