Is the DB12's ADAS the same as Mercedes?

The sensor hardware is Mercedes-derived – sourced from the same supplier chain that supplies Mercedes-AMG. However, Aston Martin replaced the Mercedes COMAND infotainment with its own bespoke system, so the software integration layer is unique. Calibration cannot follow a standard Mercedes procedure.

How is the DB12 different from the DB11 for ADAS?

The generational leap is significant. The DB11 had minimal ADAS – parking sensors and a rear camera. The DB12 introduced a full Level 2 suite with ACC, AEB, LKA, and Blind Spot Assist as standard. If you have upgraded from a DB11 to a DB12, the calibration requirements after bodywork are substantially more complex.

Does the DB12 S have different ADAS from the DB12?

The DB12 S is a performance variant with the same ADAS hardware and sensor positions as the standard DB12. Calibration procedures are identical. We also calibrate the Vantage and DBX.

Aston Martin DB12 ADAS Calibration

The DB12 introduced a full Level 2 ADAS suite to Aston Martin's grand tourer range – Adaptive Cruise Control with Speed Limit Adaptation, Lane Keeping Assist, and Automatic Emergency Braking, all standard. The sensor hardware is Mercedes-derived, but Aston Martin's bespoke infotainment integration means a Mercedes workshop manual will not produce accurate calibration results on your DB12.

ADAS Systems on Your Aston Martin DB12

The DB12 (2024+) carries the most comprehensive ADAS suite in Aston Martin's GT range:

Adaptive Cruise Control with Speed Limit Adaptation – front radar behind the bumper/grille, automatically adjusts to detected speed limits
Forward Collision Warning with Automatic Braking – AEB using both the front radar and windscreen camera
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) – camera-based steering correction when drifting without indicating
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) – audible and visual alert on lane drift
Lane Change Assist – monitors adjacent lanes during overtaking
Blind Spot Assist – rear-quarter sensors detecting vehicles in blind spots
Rear Cross Traffic Assist – warns of approaching traffic when reversing
Speed Limit Recognition – camera-based traffic sign reading
360° Surround View Camera – four cameras (front, rear, both mirrors)
Driver Attention Monitor – steering pattern analysis for fatigue detection

The front radar sits behind the DB12's distinctive grille. The forward camera is windscreen-mounted behind the rearview mirror. Side sensors are in the rear quarters. All sensor hardware is sourced from Mercedes' supplier chain, but Aston Martin's custom infotainment system and bespoke body integration mean calibration procedures are Aston Martin-specific.

Common Calibration Triggers for the Aston Martin DB12

Front bumper or grille repair: The DB12 sits low, and its long bonnet makes the front vulnerable to parking impacts and kerb strikes. The front radar powering ACC and AEB is integrated into the grille area – any bumper work that involves grille removal shifts the sensor alignment.

Windscreen replacement: The forward camera controls LKA, LDW, Speed Limit Recognition, and contributes to AEB. A windscreen replacement on the DB12 requires camera recalibration – our £199 service restores all camera-dependent systems.

Collision repair affecting multiple systems: A front-end collision on the DB12 can displace the radar, camera, and surround-view cameras simultaneously. A Collision Calibration ensures every system is restored to manufacturer specification.
