I'm also wondering about the Stealth Hitch and had the exact same questions. The price seems very reasonable but then you have to install yourself or find a local shop that can do it. I've gotten the name of a few shops but haven't called them yet to get an install price quote.

I do not plan to tow anything. I only want the hitch so that I can install a hitch-mount bike rack a few times a year. While I like the way the OEM roof rack looks, I've heard too many complaints about the noise. That, and I do not want to risk damaging the roof while loading/unloading bikes.

Stealth Hitch sells a rack only option. However, I believe one would still need to purchase the wiring harness to disable the rear parking sensors when the rack is installed.

Anyone know if the rear sensors can be disabled manually (ie. without installing a wiring harness)?
