windshield replacement and calibration

I have a question for you all,I received my payment for my windshield of only 1300 and I realized that its not enough because toyota is also charges for recalibration, so my question is do I need my windshield calibrated? I read somewhere maybe here or on youtube thats its not needed?
also I posted a picture of the cracked windshield , dont get mad at me it was taken right now and you cant see the crack , but trust me its almost all the way cracked

 

You supposed to aim it after windshield replacement…

 

Yes, the forward facing camera (that mounts to the windshield) should be calibrated if the windshield was removed and/or replaced.

 

I had mine replaced and calibrated for less than 1300 at an auto glass shop.

 

nice I called everywhere local the cheapest I found was 1450 with calibration, my goal was to get it done with toyota , but 1900 plus tax I will go somewhere else

 

Tell them to absolutely do not unplug the camera and it will not need re-calibration.
Had to do this with mine because no one will re-calibrate a lifted truck and it worked perfectly.

 

thank you for your response, I had my truck little over two yearsand im still learning new things(three years on june) this is the second time i hear about the camera , what is the camera you speak of?

 

Its under the black box looking thing behind the rear view mirror. It's used for the lane departure functions and a couple other functions with the automated safty systems.

 

I got my windshield done at a local place through insurance but they didn’t do calibration at the location near me. Had to go to Toyota and get the calibration done for $300, which my insurance also covered. Drove for a couple weeks before calibration with no issues at all, and the installer said they rarely have a problem. Probably doesn’t really need to be done, but figured if I got in an accident and the other insurance company found out I hadn’t done the calibration, they’d try to use that against me in some way.

 

update: Windshield , and calibration done for $600 also it came with
gopro mount that it didnt have previously
