Not new to VWs or VCDS but new to this forum. I was a member of Audiworld back in late '99 and my current username on vwvortex has been around since 2006. Ive had a diagnostic cable since I bought my 2000 Audi A4 new in late 99. I think I bought a cable off audiworld that had a clear plastic cover(that someone made for audiworld users before 3D printing existed) over the electrical board and Im not sure if I even used it before I broke it hah. Aaanyway, since I cant post in any other forums yet, Ill post here and see if anyone has an idea.


Ive done a few tweaks already but I have one main issue with my Alltrack I'm trying to resolve via VCDS. I have installed a Torklift hitch for my bike rack. Ive searched and cant find anything related to this problem even though there are lots of people with sensors, backup cameras and bike racks. When I have the rack installed the sensors (obviously) detect it. The problem I run into is, when you put the car in reverse, the backup camera comes on and the sensors go crazy. If you press the button to turn off the sound from the sensors it also turns off the backup camera.

Is there any way to to silence the beeping from the sensors but have the backup camera still show up on the screen?

Welcome to our forum.

Now we have to get you initiated and trained. ;)

Please post an Auto-Scan so people can see exactly how your car is equipped and configured. :)

I'm not seeing an obvious solution.

Normally with a trailer hitch, you'd also install a trailer control module, and then, when it knows there's a trailer plugged in, the car would not pay any attention to the rear parking proximity sensors.

If someone else has any ideas, please chime in.

Interesting. I didn't install a control module or any wiring because I wont ever use it to tow a trailer. Maybe installing the module will fix my problem. Ill talk to Torklift to see if this is a potential solution and check back in here. It would be nice if I could simply press the button to silence the beep but keep the camera on the screen without having to install additional wiring or modules.

I would give this a few days before going crazy with it. Just because I don't see an obvious way doesn't mean there isn't some way. :)

-Uwe-

PS: The other question is: If you wired in a trailer control module, and plugged in a dummy plug to simulate a trailer when you've got your rack mounted, would it still enable the backup camera? I honestly don't know if it would, or if it would act just as though you pushed that button....

I don't know this answer either but I suspect a trailer simulator would disable the RVC. Chad and I are in the same situation with the 2017 T'reg. The hitch mount rack on our Tiggy is the small receiver size and that rack is old and rusty. So, he's shopping for a new bike system currently that will hold both bike types (fat and normal tires) with the native 2" receiver size.

The Touareg has a factory 69 module but I'm not sure if plugging in a trailer simulator would disable the fancy automatic hatch and RVC/parking sensors or not. Since we already have the 69-Trailer module I should probably get a trailer simulator before he gets a new rack system and see how it reacts to that alone. I'm fine with no back-up cam and no rear parking sensors but don't want to risk that automatic hatch blasting open into bikes or the platform for them.

To the OP, I'm not trying to push used parts on you in our forum - but if this would fail to work for you I have a very gently used set of VW load bars from our 2017 Alltrack. I'd guess we ran them for a total of 2,000 miles so they have a few bug stains. We had to keep pulling them off every time the roof leaked water and it went back to the dealer ... which lead to VW buying back the entire car.

P.S. Check the MMI to see if the parking aid (beeping) can be turned off or way down using the in-car menus.

Edit, if you can't turn it down form the MMI and don't mind having a low level rear warning at all times see if this ADP channel is available:

[*MAS01426*] Speaker volume for rear park assist

You may be able to dial that back to an acceptable level while still having some warning when the hitch isn't on.

Thank you for all the information! I already have a roof rack but prefer to use the hitch rack for bikes. As for checking the MMI for rear warning volume that is an excellent idea that I will look into and report back, thanks!!!

if the warning is not integrated into the audio system (which I assume it is, if its in the MMI), some duct tape or similar over the applicable speaker/buzzer might work too.

The sound definitely comes from the regular sound system speakers. Either way, I would not duct tape anything on my brand new car. I want to keep the functionality of the beeps, I simply want to silence them and keep the video.

Pics for clicks err...vids for clicks. This is what happens. As you can see, even with the bike rack folded up you can still see quite a bit behind the car. It does not obstruct the view enough to render the camera useless. It would definitely still be helpful to have video, just with no sound.

I'm comparing apples to oranges here but I was able to confirm the MMI in our T'reg has a menu for rear warning volume. Do let us know if that work-around happen to work on the Alltrack.

My $0.02 is that I retrofitted a 69-Trailer module to my 2009 A4 B8. When you plug a trailer in, (amongst other things) the rear parking sensors are disabled but the rear view camera is not. If you go down that route, you could wire some dummy resistors into a trailer plug; and plug the plug in when you've got the bikes on. :)
