Hi, I have a 2014 Cayenne Diesel S and wish to attach a towbar and a rear bike rack. Porsche Tequipment website currently shows a price (£1500) for a towbar for my specific vehicle but not the bike rack. My OPC however says that it can't retrofit a towbar at all and even if it did it cannot fit the bike rack (incompatible). Yet I see adverts for Westfalia towbar for my car. Anyone had a retrofit towbar on a 2014 Cayenne and anyone using a bike rack on the towbar? Many thanks, Michael
PS Thule who make the bike rack were very helpful with dimensions required for the tow bar - essentially 40mm needed between the tow ball and the rear bumper and 73mm unimpeded drop from top of tow ball to top of towbar arm ( to allow the rack to connect fully with the tow ball).

 
I had a tow bar fitted to an earlier Cayenne than yours but was no problem. Important you get the vehicle electrics right and recoded for towing when the tow bar is connected to a trailer etc. I also had an aftermarket one fitted to the current daily. (335d) No problem fitting the bike carrier.
Here's just a random fitter from t'internet.

I had the electric towbar retrofitted to my 2018 Cayenne and as well as the trailer which does sterling service I recently got the Thule bike rack (for electric ones, I'm slightly embarrassed to admit). Excellent design IMO.
