Where is the RDC module/transmitter ???!!!

Hello,
Knowledgeable people, please help!
Car is a June 2007 3.0d SE.
Does anyone know where the RDC module/transmitter lives?
The internet hasn't provided a definitive answer and it would be great to know before removing stuff.
Grateful thanks.
Ian.

The RDC module (A85a) is showing as being here:

There may also be antennas in each wheel well behind the arch liners.

There is an antenna module (B46a) underneath as well.
