Does Curt Hitch for 2017 Honda CR-V Interfere with Handsfree Liftgate

Question

Question:

Will the Curt C13397 interfere with the handsfree tailgate access on a 2017 Honda CRV Touring. Ive seen conflicting information as to whether it will interfere with handsfree operation. Will the handsfree sensor work out of the box after install, is it required to move the existing sensor or is additional equipment required for handsfree functionality.
