That's what im after too, Ianoipat! I had another look behind the bumper yesterday, but its too difficult to see anything whilst the bumper is on the car.. I found a plug disconnected, but because of the limited space back there, i couldnt see where to plug it back into.
This youtube shows the retrofit of the sensor for the C class, but I dont know if the set up is exactly the same for the GLC. I couldnt see anything behind the bumper that resembled the sensor in the youtube clip.

Ok, so ive done some more research on this. Its definitely not an optical sensor, well not on my 2017 GLC43 anyways.. Its two rods ( like antennas ), an upper and lower that sit in the lower part of the bumper. Its right where the cut out is for my towbar, which is why my sensors ( and sensor switching module ) have been completely removed. You would think there would be an alternative piece of kit for those wanting to keep this feature and have the towbar at the same time.... Im looking into something aftermarket that can do the job, the problem is, it will need to interface into the cars LIN-Bus.. If i had the old switching module i may have been able to do something with it..
