I leave the sensors on because I backup a lot more without the bikes than with them and then I don't have to remember to turn them back on. The camera works great...it looks right through the bike frame.

With my 05 Sedan I used to carry around up to 3 bikes on my rack. My sedan was totaled on Monday but here is a picture of the rack I had:
It was is/was a Raxter 3 Bike folding rack for 1 1/4" hitches. I had it on for a few years and it was durable and never gave me any problems. You can check out their site here:
Raxter Racks - Rack Your Bike
Now I am looking at the G37 Sedan and it looks like the hitch available is not going to be as strong as the g35 hitch which connected to the floor of the trunk also. Has anyone placed up to 3 bikes on their fold down rack yet?

I know this thread is kind of old, but I have a question. I see there is a mention of an aluminum support being welded to the bumper(might only be on the sedan). How did you guys deal with this? Is there an easy way to get around this issue?
Thanks for any guidance anyone can provide. I am sure I can figure it out, but would just like to assess any issues I might have before I start the work.
Nevermind, all you have to do is wiggle the bottom of the plate back and forth and then you can break it loose.

No I actually haven't performed the work yet. I am still gathering info. I read the "wiggle the bottom" method from a reviewer's comment on etrailer.com. The guy said that was the way he did it.
If his way doesn't work, then I will have to resort to the method you used I guess.

Added my hitch yesterday Model #11499. Straightforward, no drilling. Just a little fascia cutting, which was easy to do with tin snips. Used a dremel to weaken the aluminum spacer block and then pried it forward with a screwdriver and wiggled it back and forth a couple of times to break the rest of the weld. After that is is a simple bolt on with existing bolts and 1 carriage bolt to attach to the tow hook.
My 1upusa rack + 1 will be here Wednesday.

OK, most of these posts are old, here is today's version...I just bought a 2013 G37X & I want a trailer hitch to mount a bike rack (a prissy road bike, not driving on any rocks to get there!). uHaul has a hitch for a G37 Sedan, rear wheel drive & another one for a G37 Coupe AWD. The dealer doesn't have a clue which but "guesses" I should get the one for the sedan even though i have AWD.
Can anyone confirm?
