Invisihitch

Just had the Invisihitch installed at the company warehouse today. I have to say the quality is excellent, customer service was excellent and coding the vehicle is included in the price. It was less than half the cost of getting an OEM hitch installed. I highly recommend this option for anyone looking for towing or just for a bike rack.

Posting pics would really show nothing. The hitch is so well hidden under the bumper, that's it's truly invisible.

As for the cost, it was still pricey but for the quality and customer service it was well worth it. The BMW OEM hitch installed was $2300 on sale. While Invisihitch installed runs about $1200.

Nope, just one. I've never seen the hitch kit listed like that. I called 2 local dealerships and both of their quotes were within $100 of each other. I know there's always a better deal out there, but I'm more than satisfied my new hitch. Plus I'm getting some extra goodies coded for free!

I called the a dealer for a quote last year, and it was over $2000 there too. Maybe the extra includes the coding time.

The "extra goodies" I mentioned is that the vehicle gets coded from "CodeMyCar". They allow for addition items to be coded in and not just the hitch codes. I find that a very nice bonus, plus the hitch setup is pretty damn sweet, can't even tell it's there.

If you can find out what the modules are for the hitch coding, I would greatly appreciate it, as I'm sure many on here would

It was actually your post "wingless" that convinced me to go the Invisihitch route.

how much did you pay for this if you don't mind me asking?

The website says $675 but when I called they are telling me $1009 shipped to my door. Kind of upset at the moment...

Just completed the process yesterday. The guys at from CodemyCar were great to work with and it was a lot easier to code my car than I'd thought it would be.
