I do not have the foot sensor for the lift gate so I don?t know if it interferes with that operation or not. - Even though the cable is braided nicely, it still feels flimsy. It holds the phone really snug especially if you have a soft case on it. You can use strips of linoleum as a simple protectant from cat scratching, but using excess plywood or a decorative wall panel on the sides adds durability to the unit. Love them and great to use you just have to download the app to pare with your phone. Overall bag is as stated and heavy duty. What you want in this use case is something simple, easy to put on and take off, and that dries quickly. Seems sturdy enough to do the job. First class unit, easy to use and makes taking the cycles so much easier
