[QUOTE="E46Fanatic, post: 432971, member: 81"] The steering angle sensors for cars with Active Steering is actually read from the GT1 but somehow integrated into the BMW KDS II alignment process. If these alignment shops use the GT1 and follow instructions from the KDS II step by step guide, then it'll be as good as the SC's alignment process. A few of us have done alignment at AB (Segambut) and Ingress. What you'll visually notice after the alignment job (which takes 3-4 hrs!) is that the camber pins on the shock tower mounts are removed as well. What I also noticed from the KDS II readout, is that it prompts the alignment guy to inspect the tyres for the BMW STAR OEM tyre markings, and result of finding needs to be keyed into the KDS II as well. I wonder how this OEM Star rated tyres impact or influence the alignment in anyway. Reason also that KDS II needs ride height readings is to calibrate the alignment spec according to the specific ride height of the car. [/QUOTE]
