All, appreciate I'm jumping the gun as my macan is likely for January next year (fingers and everything else crossed), but the porsche rear mounted bike carrier has a warning in the equipment brochure that says left hand drive only. Is this true as OPC doesn't know and I don't want to spec a towbar if I can't use the bike carrier.

Does the tow bar retract completely out of sight?
I'm replacing a Q5 with a Macan Turbo, I have the Audi tow bar which retracts behind the bumper and covered by a removable panel so it's not possible to see it at all when not deployed. I also use a Thule G6 928 bike carrier with LED lights so I hope this will be compatible.
