As you say the calibration process simply involes running a calibration procedure from computer, it should just count up to 100% complete. (Job Done).I did asked the technician to educate me and he was very happy to do so. I assumed calibration meant physical alignment of the camera in its housing behind the new screen but he said that there is no physical alignment to do as the camera fits very precisely on its locating lugs. He said that the calibration just amended preset parameters of the camera system and took more account of the optical qualities of the new screen amongst other things. I imagine the camera plays a combined part in all the automated systems as the LIDAR device is too low to spot things like the white lines on the road?
I have to say that since the screens replacement and without calibration all the automation is just as good/bad as it was before screen replacement but I have experienced my first emergency braking event in 12,000 miles - coincidence?
Autoglass have been very switched on and even call me following up an email to see if I'd booked the main dealer appointment so that they could ensure they paid for the MG visit and tie it up in one insurance claim.
Not sure what you mean by responsibility, if its who pays then Autoglass, who claim from my insurer, so ultimately me. It's not a warranty event for sure.
Problem with mine is that it never reaches 100% complete and now errors for everything
Associated with the camera.
Following Glass replacement (AutoGlass) and before going to MG Dealer the only system error was road sign recognition. The strange thing was on leaving my home it recognsed a 40 mph sign but then as I approached first roundabout the error poped up.
All other systems seamed to be operating, but now ACC the one thing I do use is unavailable.
My question about responsability is if the camera assembly need to be replaced.
