where's the reverse sensors main control box

Hi all, Im hoping you can help me pin point the exact position of the reverse sensors control box, I know its fixed under the parcel shelf somewhere as I can hear it but I cant see it, I found some cables that I thought went under the parcel shelf, Like a fool I unplugged them but sensors still worked, wasnt until I started my engine I found out I had unplugged the side air bag's, bloody things faulted resulting in a trip to Skoda to get the fault reset, wont do that again!!!
Reason I want to find it is I have a caravan and as you can guess reversing is a nightmare as all I get it the constant sound of the sensor, I want to put a key switch in the boot so I can turn the supply of to the main control box when I'm hooked up, anyone know if this is fiesable or if it might cause other unexpected problems? Cheers all

Behind the right hand rear carpet bolted to the back of the wheel arch.

If you have a cnstant beep its more than likely a sensor, VAG COM will tell you which one.
