You can read up on the sensor system here:

It uses radar to develop an "image" of the surroundings, and uses a combination of that and the steering angle sensor to figure out which target to track. It isn't just a simple distance sensor.
The module is similar in appearance on Audi, Mercedes and BMW. No idea if the datalink is compatible at all, but I would guess that it is not.
You should be able to pull a 5 or 7 series E-series sensor, though no guarantees.
