Its located in the trunk on the driver side. You have to remove both covers. Its the smaller module on the right hand side in the pic below.

So I tore my seats apart and my TCU is blank no build date on it. Just plain metal! My car build date is 09/03 so I think I'm going to have to buy a new TCU.

Yep. The small one is the TCU. I think the larger one is for the stereo as it has a plug where a CD changer would go. However my car came with the CD changer in the glove box.

i am on the boat too of changing TCU on my car to have the BT enabled. similar to one post, i had my TCU blank, no nothing, part number etc.. just bare metal, no stickers whatsoever so i cant tell what part number i have. mine is an 09/03 build date.
can you share guys what part number you used to swap your old TCUs?

How about part number 84 10 9149615 01 (manufactured 02/11/07)? Would it fit?
