Thule Bike Rack on the Tow Bar

[Lost Boy]

Hi, I have the standard detachable VW Towbar and am borrowing a friends Thule rack to collect a new e-bike, having not used a towbar for this previously with this California (2023 T6.1 204 4Motion), I was wondering what will happen with the reversing sensors etc, are they automatically disabled, do the front ones still work, can I assume the reversing camera still works? Any guidance and advice appreciated. Thanks

You are correct.
Rear sensors disabled. Rear fog light on vehicle disabled and replaced by bike rack Fog Light.
Reversing camera works.

Don't forget your Side Assist / Blind Spot Monitor won't work either.

Ok Thanks, that's annoying!
