We are the proud owners of a 2019 Octavia estate. Today we had a towbar fitted with an attachment on it for our maxraxx bike rack. Basically the attachment is bolted to the towbar and is to the right bf the towbar. To our dismay when revering, the sensors just make a wall of sound since having the towbar and attachment fitted. We don’t want to turn off the rear sensors...but wondered if it is possible to disable the one closest to the towbar attachment...or is there a way disabling the one sensor through the control panel? 
 

we don’t want to take the towbar attachment off each time we use the bike rack either.  
 

I’m sure this must be a common problem as people have stuff fitted to the back of their cars all the time? 
 

cheers guys and gals 🙂
 

 

 

You might want to check if the tow bar fitter used vehicle specific wiring (as opposed to the cheaper "piggy back" option) and coded the tow bar in. Also are you using a number plate/lighting board plugged into the socket on the tow bar as I believe this tells the car electronics the tow bar is being used.  

Many thanks for your reply. We have found a simple and free solution...not ideal but it works for now. We have out gorilla tape over the one sensor that is being blocked by the towbar extension. It works! We still have three sensors that work so firnthebt8me being it will do. 😊
