Where is the bluetooth antenna?

I haven't been able to find anything about this on the forums. I have an 07 MCS with mobile phone integration (pre-USB) and I've been having an issue with my Bluetooth not seeing any mobile phones that I try. I was hoping that there was an issue with the Bluetooth antenna, or a connection, but have been unable to locate the antenna. I've looked under the drivers seat where realOEM shows it, and in the cubby under the drivers side kick panel where the retrofit kit shows it, but no luck.

Does anyone know where it is, or have any ideas that I might be able to try in order to fix this?

Yup, it should be behind the dash trim down and to the left from the steering wheel. It is a little module that slides into a cubby.

EDIT: Sorry, I failed to read your whole post. This is where it is supposed to be. Good luck.

Thanks, but its not there. The factory install for 07s must be somewhere else.

It is under the center console, near the parking brake.

The retrofit location for the antenna is to the left of the steering wheel by your knee.
