The hands free sensor on the back of your RDX can be tricky, but most users report that they find the sweet spot just to the right or left of the hitch receiver when using the Draw Tite # 76268 and other hitches. A few customers have reported that theirs were completely blocked from use.

If that were the case you could contact your Acura dealer about a potential sensor relocation kit but at this time it's not something we have available.
