[snoopy]

Has anyone successfully added the bike trailer mounts from CT to ST?

Don't think it is possible. Different parts at factory build.

Not really. All the mounting points are there on the ST rear subframe. It is just a matter of ordering mounting brackets and mounting them with an electrical connection. And the final thing is to make like a flap on the rear bumper as the ST does not have removable plastic on the bumper like CT.

When ordered as a factory option the ST does have removable panels (here in the UK at least).

I'm sure there's been another thread on here showing the parts needed to do this.

Edited to add, there was. In Jan. Use the search function... Bike carrier parts. First hit.

Yep, my 4S ST has the factory fitted bike carrier option with plastic flap

@Flying ace is working on this project for his ST. He’s on various threads with his progress.

4 weeks away from completing this retrofit. Literally just ordered the parts today. All in at $1000.

For those ordering a new 2025 ST, just tic that damn NG1 option code! It's free

What parts gave you ordered regarding electrical wiring? Or will you just tapp into brake and turn signal lights?

I did not plan to integrate the electrical parts. When I pull the bumper, I will look to see if the ST came with a receptacle for that plug harness.

I have the part number for the harness if you're interested.

Btw, you will need to order a new black bumper fascia that has the opening flap on the left side. This is the same part on CT cars and STs with the NG1 build code.

I see. The electrical part for me is the problematic one so I need to see how to work this out.

Regarding the flaps I will try to manually fabricate it by cutting it out from the current bumper and then try to do some magic trickery to have an option to put it back when not needed.

How come you spent $1000 just on the mounting parts? Have you ordered everything new?

I ordered everything new. Approximately, half of the cost is the black fascia, and the other half are the brackets. I also ordered a bunch of bolts and screws associated with the parts, which are not expensive and possibly unnecessary.

If you happen to pull your bumper before I do let me know whether you found the location plug the harness. Also, please take detailed pictures of the mountain locations on the crash/rebar bar.

I find it interesting that your plan is to modify the existing black fascia. Let me know about your approach and method. I think it'll be pretty difficult to cut the plastic and make it look as seamless as OEM. Further, you still have to think about how it will as well clip back in.

Hi, I had issues with my attempted install today. I learned that the rear facia piece (with the flaps doors) on the ST is a very unique part number. Do you have that part number available from your research?

My dealership provided me with this part: 9j0-807-875-BN-OK1 . While this part has the removable flap, it is not for the GTS as it has a full integrated diffuser and undertray. The diffuser and undertray on the GTS ST are 2 pieces. (9j1-807-521 & 9j1-807-568) and requires part 875 to be slimmer in order to allow me to attach parts 521 and 568 onto it. While I can find the part number for part 875 for a 4 or 4S Cross Turismo, I cannot find it for the GTS Sport Turismo.

This is the only website I can find with all the variants. Confusingly, it says that BN-OK1 is the USA version. I think this part is actually for a base Taycan ST.

According to the UK parts site the bike carrier is compatible with these models:

I know the non-GTS ST models aren't available in US but you might have more luck searching for Turbo or Turbo-S parts (on European websites?) as they have the same mechanicals as the GTS.
