Default Can someone share a photo of factory installed tow hitch?
my 2017 Q7 doesn’t come with tow package. Trying to let the dealer install for me. Curious about how tow hitch will affect the senor. Would you hit the tow bar when swipe your foot? Some photos will be appreciate!

is the tow receiver in your way when you swipe your foot?

Foot sensor works fine, although there's definitely a sweet spot on my Q7. It's not in the center - it seems to respond better about 2-3" left of the receiver.

I have factory tow, and what works for me every time is line left leg up with hitch and swing right foot under at 45 degree angle.

Weird.. my dealer told me that with the tow package, my sensor won't work so I never tried it.. was the sales rep misinformed? Mine is a 2017 Q7 Canadian Car

With a factory install the kick action works for opening the tailgate, no issues. If the dealer is installing , make sure this is the case for you as well. and no, the hitch is nicely tucked away and does not hit the foot unless you go all ninja on it.
