It's complicated to come there. I'm already out of my country.
I'd go anywhere in the world, where I'd have a stable financial and quiet place.

If you have Xentry, you can follow the step by step guide for diag, also on the top right corner you can find a blue small book, this will open even pictures.

If you don't have Xentry, why you ask about this module?

i just asked where it is located in the car... if i had xentry i didnt had to ask... but why i want to know is because my nr 116 fuses blows.. and this is from the radar sensor etc.
when i disconnect the front bumper radarsensor it still blows.. so i like to know where it is, so i could disconnect the module and test the fuse, if it still blows its in the wiring harnes.

i think i have found location of the module on the forum of a GL, looks like its behind OBD connector and left of the brake padle. i have to look tomorrow how it goes.... also have question about wiring harnas, does this cable go behind the radioscreen unit?
