Will Installing a Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2021 BMW X3 Disable Backup Sensors
Published 11/08/2023
Question:
Does the Wiring Harness Disable the backup sensors when the trailer Lights are plugged in. My understanding is the OEM trailer harness senses the trailer lights are plugged in and disable the backup sensors, if the sensors detect an object in rear it will stop the X3. If they do not disable the sensor how to you backup if the X3 detects an object.

Expert Reply:
Installing the trailer wiring with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH62VR will not disable the backup sensors. So, with the harness installed your factory sensors will still work when in reverse.
