How to disable/remove PDC on 2013 Mini Cooper?

Hello,

The RMV wouldn't let me use my 2013 Mini Cooper for the road test because it has PDC. I need the PDC (reversing sensors) deactivated. They are below the rear bumper on the black rubber strip as in the photo on this page: http://www.trustmymechanic.com/2007-...-and-pictures/

How can the PDC be deactivated or removed?

Thanks.

That was one of my thoughts too that taking out the fuse should do it as it would just severe the electrical connection. I wasn't sure what is the right way to do it.

The other way to do it is to disable it using NCS expert. Worst case scenario, you can use a family member's car for the test.
