PDC vs Hitch mounted bike rack

Does anyone know if the PDC will work when a hitch mounted bike rake is used? I am considering adding this as an option, but if the hitch bike rack interferes, it would end up being quite a hassle.

Thanks!

I don't have PDC, but I would expect that when the rack is sitting on the back of the car and folded down, the PDC sensors' performance would be affected. But even if correct, this should not be a big deal unless you plan to drive around with a bike rack hanging off the tail of your car all the time. Once the rack is removed, the receiver assembly that the rack plugs into will not affect the PDC. It sits behind a large metal bumper bumper beam that's already under the bumper in your car. The only time you should have an issue is when the rack is actually plugged into the receiver.
