Is There an EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2015 BMW X5 with Reverse Sensors

Question

Question:

Hey guys. I really want to purchase the EchoHitch for for my 2015 X5 non M-sport. Theres a footnote in the ad description that says the hitch wont work backup sensors. However, if you look at the picture in this eTrailer thread that DOES recommend the EchoHitch installed you can clearly see the backup sensors are there!? Im hoping you can confirm if indeed backup sensors will work for us owners of 2014 to 2018 X5s with no M-Sport pkge. Thank you!

There are two EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receivers for a 2015 BMW X5, part # 306-X7265 if you don't have reverse sensors or part # EH44FR if you do have reverse sensors. Therefore, it looks like you need the latter of the two options. I have attached a photo of the latter for you as well.
