Question:
Im interested in the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Rack. I have a 2015 Nissan Murano and am wondering if it will interfere with the backup camera.

From my research, I've found that on the 2015 Murano, the back up camera is located just above the license plate. The rack will block the camera to some extent, but there would be enough distance between the camera and the rack that you should still have a pretty good field of vision.
Given the location of the camera, most bike racks would interfere to some degree but I believe we offer a rack that would work pretty well for you. The Kuat Transfer, part # KU74FR doesn't have a central mast, which means that a portion of the bike will obstruct the view of the camera, but at least there won't be a bike rack in the way as well.
If your Murano doesn't have a hitch yet, I'd recommend the Hidden Hitch Class III, part # 87679. If you click the provided link, you can see an install video for the hitch and a product demonstration video for the bike rack I recommended.
