Override Switch for Rear Parking Sensors

Is there any way to turn off or put an over ride switch in for the rear parking sensors?
Maybe mounted in the back somewhere near the power socket that can turn the sensors OFF.
Not really a lot of need for them for a few weeks towing a trailer.

Don't you have a switch on the dash near the hazard warning light which switches them off? It flashes while they are activated Thumbs Up

Yes I do, I thought the manual said that was only for the front sensors.

I will try it and see, thank you

Ah, I only have rear sensors so it switches them off.

Press it twice? No idea, sorry! Embarassed

If you have the tow electrics enabled in the car config (dealer can do it) then it won't use the rear sensors when trailer plugged in. Thumbs Up

If you get your car enabled for tow electrics, it turns them off automatically when a trailer is connected.
