You'll find the towbar connections behind the trim at the very rear of the boot and a 'spare' black/white wire for a trailer reverse lights.

Yes  :y
I forgot later cars have wiring for the sensors, mines doesn't. I'd guess that the black/white wire near your spare is the same wire, but you'd need your multi-meter out to check it first!  :y   ;)

I fitted a set of Cobra reversing sensors a while back.....remove the light plastic cover within boot lid to expose the bulbs,then it is a simple matter of finding the wire colours that feed the bulb for the   reversing light bulb and then tracing it to a point within the boot area(I found it easiest by the spare wheel area) and then just cut into it and job done .
