It should be a small black module mounted on top of the near side rear electronics rack.  A couple of plastic nuts should hold it down.

    Lift up rear seat and pull back rear floor carpet, bluetooth antenna mounted to
  the panel behind the carpet.

    What bluetooth issue do you have ?

thanks,

will have a look there,

I cant get the vehicle to produce a blue tooth signal, Navcoder can see the TCU and I have removed old paired phones but cannot get a bluetooth signal out of it, I have got hold of another TCU (same serial number as one fitted, Motorola unit 84106964113) but wanted to check bluetooth antenna is connected before fitting new unit to vehicle.
