Stay Ahead with TEXA IDC6 CAR 2025.04 and BIKE 2025.02.00 Updates!
TEXA has rolled out significant updates for its IDC6 diagnostic software, bringing enhanced capabilities and expanded coverage for both cars and bikes. These updates, CAR 2025.04 and BIKE 2025.02.00, introduce a new terminology for software versions and a host of new features to keep repair professionals at the forefront of multi-brand diagnostics.
Understanding the New IDC6 Software Update Terminology
With the IDC6 version, TEXA is introducing a new way to describe software updates, dividing them into two types: CORE and Environment.
CORE Update: This refers to the evolution of the unified software architecture shared by all environments. It’s designed to optimize information access, improve function efficiency, and provide faster response and reduced loading times. CORE updates follow a progressive numbering system starting from 1, reflecting application-level developments.
Environment Update: This pertains to the specific software version for each diagnostic environment (like CAR or BIKE). Its numbering is split into two parts: the first number indicates the release year (e.g., 2025.x), and the second is a progressive index that increases with each new update during the year (e.g., 2025.04).
This new system clearly distinguishes between architectural innovations (CORE) and specific environment updates.

ADAS calibration involves the precise adjustment and alignment of a vehicle’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which include features such as lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, and blind spot detection. For these safety systems to function properly, their cameras, sensors, and radar units must be correctly calibrated according to the vehicle’s specifications.
Calibration is essential whenever these components might have shifted — whether from a collision, windshield replacement, suspension work, or even normal wear and tear. Even slight misalignment can result in inaccurate data, false alerts, or a dangerous failure to detect real threats on the road.
Is ADAS Calibrations right for your business?
As vehicles become increasingly advanced, it’s important to ask: is ADAS calibration a necessary service for your business? The short answer is yes. Accurate calibration is critical to ensuring systems like automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and lane-keeping assistance perform safely and reliably.
Why Precision Matters in ADAS Calibration
If you’re thinking about offering ADAS calibration services, understand this: precision is non-negotiable. These systems rely on finely tuned cameras, radar, and sensors to operate correctly. Even a slight misalignment can lead to inaccurate readings, false alerts—or worse, failure to detect real hazards.
Calibration is often needed after events like:
Collisions (even minor ones)
Windshield replacement
Suspension repairs
Wheel alignments
Routine wear and tear
That’s why your calibration facility must allow for easy access and precise adjustment of all ADAS components.
Space Requirements: Do You Have Room for ADAS Calibration?
Before you invest in ADAS equipment, assess your available space. A proper calibration environment isn’t just “nice to have”—it’s essential.
General guidelines:
Minimum space: 30 x 50 feet
Larger vehicles may need even more room
The area must be flat, unobstructed, and free from overhead interference
Most collision repair shops struggle with this—an estimated 80% don’t have enough space for proper calibrations. If space is tight, consider renting or expanding your facility.
Key environmental requirements include:
Level flooring
Uniform, adjustable lighting
Power access and equipment storage
Minimal reflective surfaces and proper ventilation
Lighting Requirements: Avoid Calibration Errors
Lighting plays a major role in calibration accuracy. Poor lighting can cause system errors, misalignment, and failed recalibrations.
What you need:
High-quality, flicker-free LED lighting
Uniform, diffused illumination across the workspace
Adjustable lighting to adapt to seasonal or time-of-day changes
Tips for optimal lighting:
Avoid direct lighting over windshields or hoods
Use shades or curtains to block natural glare
Deploy a light meter to ensure consistent luminance throughout the shop
Flooring Considerations: Keep It Level and Safe
Your floor must be:
Flat and level (within +/- 10mm, per OEM specs)
Non-reflective and low-gloss
Easy to clean and durable
Recommended materials: concrete, epoxy resin, or vinyl.
Power Supply: Stay Powered, Stay Accurate
Reliable power is crucial for running ADAS calibration equipment.
Must-haves:
Stable, nearby electrical outlets
Uninterrupted power supply (UPS) to avoid calibration interruptions
A backup power source (like a generator) if consistent electricity is an issue
Environmental and Facility Factors
Aside from lighting and space, be mindful of other environmental variables that could compromise accuracy:
Sunlight & Reflections: Block or diffuse direct sunlight and remove reflective surfaces like mirrors, metal posts, and glass doors.
Ventilation: Proper airflow is essential, especially when working with chemicals or running vehicles.
Temperature & Humidity: Keep conditions consistent for both the operator and equipment.
Wall Coating: Use light-colored, non-glossy paint that matches the floor for a distraction-free calibration area.
Internet Access: Stay Connected
A strong internet connection is non-negotiable. You’ll need it for:
Downloading software updates
Accessing calibration protocols and OEM data
Submitting calibration records or certifications
No internet? A wireless hotspot or dedicated router is a good solution.
