Question What do you do with rear sensors and cameras when you add a bike rack?

Do you have to disable some sensors or all?
Does it effect top view if you just disable rear sensors?
What about breaks intervention?

If someone knows a decent guide to this. Please let me know.

Thank you

I just turn down the volume on mine and everything works pretty normal. Yo can also go into the menu and click "trailer towing" or something like that and it turns off various items. It describes what it does when you click on it so give it a try. I have bikes on mine most of the time.

I set one of the hot buttons to towing mode for hauling bikes around.

Looks sweet! Can’t wait for mine to go into production and get delivered! Same color (except I got the 20s)! What bike rack is that and is it possible to fit 4 bikes? I’ll be having to buy a bike rack for the first time.

1 UP USA. I have used them for years on all my cars. They are modular so you can go 1 bike up to 4 bikes. Costly but great.

Here are some pictures on the M40 and the AMG.
