Default Hitch Bike Rack Reverse Beeping

Is there any way to tell the Q5 (2012 2.0T Prem+) that I have a bike rack on the rear hitch and make it not shoot the sirens (backup sensor beeping) each and every time I back up with the hitch?

Run lights on your bike rack. Your ESP will modify for trailer towing but your beeping should stop.

I just hit the button and turn off the rear camera. I can't see much anyway. Also, if you 'tell' the car you're towing it may change the driving dynamics.
