Mk7.5 Rear Sensors Issue

I've recently got rid of my mk7 and got a mk7.5 van, and I've only just realised it has rear parking sensors on the rear bumper but it doesnt work when I go in reverse. 

Looked behind the bumper, and the sensors are all there connected to the loom and it looks fairly clean and undamaged. I've stripped the back panels of the boot and I cant find the rear sensor box. Any ideas on where I should be looking, or why they may not be working? I've recently upgraded the stereo from the unbranded non Bluetooth model to the unbranded Bluetooth model with the 'phone' button instead of the 'sound' button. And I still have no indication on the screen (new or old) about the resr sensors, I have no sound indication, literally nothing. 

I'm gunna buy an ELM 27 and download forscan and see if they are activated on there, but if they are, whats next? Do I just strip off my bumper and all panels in the boot area and try trace the cable to somewhere in the car? Or does someone know where I should be looking/what to be looking at? 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, this car has been a nightmare project since I got it.
