Autel IA700 Ape Core ADAS Calibration System with MS909 S2 Tablet (IA700APECT)

The Autel IA700APECT is the IA700 Ape Core ADAS calibration system — front camera (LDW) and radar coverage including the MaxiSYS MS909S2 tablet — built for body shops that want to capture 70–80% of the calibrations they see every day without the cost of a full All Systems package.

Front camera and radar are the two most common ADAS calibration types in a modern body shop. The IA700APECT covers both, letting shops handle the high-volume work in-house and sublet edge cases until the business case for All Systems is clear.

This package includes the IA700 frame, a complete LDW target set, and the MaxiSYS MS909S2 tablet, the ACC Reflector Mirror (CSC0602-01), Continental Radar Calibration Plate (CSC0602-02), Doppler Radar Calibration Box (CSC0605-01), and Corner Reflector with Stand (CSC0802-01).

Why the IA700APECT Makes Sense for Your Shop

Most body shops that are adding ADAS or expanding calibration don't need All Systems on day one. The Ape Core gets you into the most profitable, highest-volume calibrations immediately — front camera on almost every windshield job, radar on most front-end repairs. Shops that want to capture this work without committing to the All Systems price tag get a real entry point here.

When AVM (360-view), LIDAR, Night Vision, and specialty calibrations start appearing regularly on your tickets, the All Systems upgrade path exists. That coverage is meaningfully broader and priced accordingly — it is a significant step up, not a minor add-on.

Key Features and Benefits

• Bay-to-Bay Mobility. The IA700 disassembles in under 120 seconds and moves between bays or shop locations. Bring the system to the vehicle, not the vehicle to a fixed installation.
• Optical Target Positioning. Targets are placed optically rather than by mechanical measurement, cutting setup time and removing a major source of calibration error.
• Front Camera and Radar Coverage. Covers the two most common ADAS calibration types in a modern body shop — lane departure (LDW) and radar (ACC / front radar).
• Ready to Calibrate Out of the Box. The MS909S2 tablet and ADAS software are included. No separate tablet purchase needed.
• Clear Upgrade Path. The IA700 platform scales. When you're ready for AVM, LIDAR, Night Vision, and more, the All Systems upgrade exists — though it is a meaningfully larger investment.

What's Included (IA700APECT)

Who Should Buy the IA700APECT

• Body Shops Adding ADAS. Shops that see windshield replacements and front-end repairs and want front camera and radar calibrations in-house, without the cost of All Systems.
• Mobile Calibration Businesses. The IA700 travels fast. Ape Core with the MS909S2 gives a mobile operator everything needed to run front camera and radar jobs on-site.
• Shops Not Ready for All Systems. If AVM, LIDAR, and Night Vision aren't common on your current ticket mix, Ape Core covers what is. Upgrade when the volume justifies it.

Comparing IA700 Packages

There are three tiers on the IA700 platform:

• IA700LDWT — Front camera (LDW) only. Entry-level.
• IA700APECT Ape Core — Front camera + radar. Covers 70–80% of body shop work.
• IA700AST — All Systems. Adds AVM / 360-view, LIDAR, Night Vision, Blind Spot Detection, and Rear Collision Warning on top of LDW and radar.

Important: If you think your shop will eventually want AVM (360-view cameras), LIDAR, or Night Vision calibration capability, buy All Systems now. Purchasing the Ape Core and then upgrading to All Systems later will cost you more in total than going straight to All Systems from the start. The Ape Core is built for shops that genuinely do not need those systems — collision and glass shops where front camera and radar is the overwhelming majority of their work. If there is a real chance you will want AVM or specialty calibrations within the next year or two, the IA700AST is the better investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the IA700APECT include a tablet?

Yes. The IA700APECT includes the MaxiSYS MS909S2 tablet, MaxiFlash VCI, and ADAS calibration software. No separate tablet purchase is needed. For the frame-only version, see the IA700APEC.

What calibrations does Ape Core cover?

Front camera (LDW) and radar — specifically Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and front radar. These are the most common calibration types in body shop and glass repair workflows.

What does Ape Core not cover?

Around View Monitoring (AVM / 360-view), LIDAR, Night Vision, and Rear Collision Warning targets are not included. Those are part of the All Systems package, which is priced at a significantly higher level.

Can I upgrade from Ape Core to All Systems later?

You can, but it will cost more than buying All Systems upfront. The Ape Core targets AVM, LIDAR, and Night Vision are sold separately and their combined price, added to what you paid for the Ape Core, will exceed the price of the IA700AST directly. If you think your shop will need those capabilities within the next year or two, start with All Systems now.
