I checked out the reviews for the M7 Speed MINI Ultimate Utility Hitch Receiver part # 327-60-160200 and was not able to find anyone else with this issue. I'm not sure if the sensors are going off with or without an accessory attached but I could see either way honestly due to its unique design. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do. I recommend looking through your owner's manual to see if the sensors can be temporarily disabled via the in-dash settings. If not, you're either going to have to live with the alarm sounding while in reverse or remove the trailer hitch. Unfortunately, we don't have any other trailer hitch options for this vehicle.
