Sorry for the delayed response but dchar said it perfectly. The camera runs no matter what. You can back the tow ball right under the trailer hitch with no one watching. It is awesome!

Hitch Bike Rack Interfere w/ Camera & Sensors?
For 2017 RX350, is it a given all hitch mounted bike racks will interfere with rear cameras & sensors or does someone know of a model that won't interfere?

If the hitch bar is in front of the camera it will interfere with the camera.
If the hitch bar interferes with the rear sensor on the bumper, it depends.
I found the hitch did not as it is in the center but when you put the bikes on, it sure does.
Not a big deal for me.

Thule Hitch Bike Rack causing brake assist when backing up
2017 RX350... I just installed hitch mount Thule platform style bike rack. When I don't have bikes, I obviously fold it up. However, when I back up the car, sonar alarms first and the car applies the break automatically. I turned off blind spot monitoring and cross traffic alert but it still stops the car automatically. What should I do? Is there anyway to shut off automatic break when backing up? Thank you in advance for your input!
