Description
Bosch CTA511-1 Mercedes Rear View Floor Mat Target ÔÇö DAS 3000 ADAS Calibration Accessory
For any shop performing windshield replacements, collision repairs, or camera R&R on Mercedes-Benz vehicles, rear-view camera recalibration is a mandatory step ÔÇö not an optional one ÔÇö before the vehicle can be returned to service. The Bosch CTA511-1 is a Mercedes-specific floor mat target engineered for use with the Bosch DAS 3000 ADAS recalibration system. This is not a generic, one-size-fits-all target. It is purpose-built for the Mercedes-Benz rear camera calibration procedure, positioned flat on the floor directly behind the vehicle during static calibration.
What This Target Does
The static calibration procedure for a Mercedes rear-view camera ÔÇö as guided by the DAS 3000 system ÔÇö requires the CTA511-1 floor mat target to be placed at a precise distance and alignment behind the car. The rear camera captures the target image, and the DAS 3000 software analyzes that data to verify and reset the camera’s reference frame. The calibration sequence cannot be completed without the correct target present. The pattern printed on this mat is brand-specific: a Mercedes procedure demands a Mercedes target, not a substitute or generic calibration board.
When You Need This Target
- Rear windshield or glass replacement ÔÇö any time the rear camera view is disrupted or the camera unit is removed and reinstalled
- Collision repair ÔÇö rear-end damage affecting camera alignment, mounting position, or surrounding body structure
- Camera unit replacement ÔÇö new camera modules must be recalibrated before the system will operate correctly
- Suspension or chassis work ÔÇö repairs that alter vehicle ride height or rear geometry may require camera recalibration per Mercedes service procedures
DAS 3000 System Compatibility
The CTA511-1 is a component within the Bosch DAS 3000 ADAS calibration ecosystem. It operates in conjunction with the DAS 3000 recalibration fixture and frame, driven by the Bosch ADS 525X or ADS 625X scan tool running ADAS software. Prior to calibration, the Bosch ADAS Positioning (BAP) System is used to set the fixture at the correct distance and thrust-angle alignment. This target is not a standalone product ÔÇö the complete DAS 3000 setup is required for it to function as intended.
Who Needs This
- Mercedes-Benz dealers and authorized service centers performing camera work in-house
- Independent shops specializing in European vehicles that already own or are actively building out a DAS 3000 kit
- Collision centers that handle Mercedes repairs and need to complete ADAS calibration on-site rather than subcontracting it out
- Mobile ADAS calibration operators expanding their Mercedes-Benz service coverage
If your shop runs a DAS 3000 and handles Mercedes rear camera work without this target, you’re either sending the calibration out or skipping it entirely ÔÇö and neither approach is a sustainable solution for a shop committed to owning the complete repair process.

Important Notes on ADAS Targets
Calibration targets are precision-printed to exact optical specifications. Do not substitute a different target, laminate over this one, or attempt to reproduce the pattern ÔÇö the DAS 3000 system depends on the precise optical properties and pattern geometry of the OEM-spec target to produce valid calibration results. Store the mat flat, away from direct sunlight, and inspect it before each use for any creasing or damage that could compromise calibration accuracy.
