If the vehicle uses a canbus wiring system, which I think it does, you need to have it reprogrammed by the dealer anyway, and that should stop them working when the electrics are connected.
The reprogramme should also give you the additional warning light for the trailer flashers.

Ive got a BMW 3 series, and had the dedicted wiring kit installed, so that when I'm towing the car recognises it and disables the parking sensors.

I had reversing sensors fitted to my Sorento, best money I have ever spent.  I ahd a switch fitted, so when hitched up to the 'van, I can simply disable the sensors

I have a reversing sensor that tells you what to do and shouts at the last second  just before disaster. It's called the OH.

Sounds like you didn't have the dedicated wiring kit installed.  It cost me an extra £120 on the beemer
