Will Parking and Rear Hatch Sensors Work After Installing Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver on 2017 BMW X3
Question:
Hi, My 2017 X3 has the hands free hatch opening functionality, as well as parking distance sensors. Will these continue to function properly with the hitch receiver installed? Thanks

Expert Reply:
When installing the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76226 on your 2017 BMW X3 the parking sensors will not be impacted. However, the hands free rear hatch feature could be impacted but just kick to the side of the receiver and it will work fine.
If you plan to tow a trailer with the X3 the wiring harness I recommend is the Curt # C59236.
