Bluetooth Module Location

I need to replace the bluetooth module but have absolutely no idea where it could be. Some say, it's under the driver seat, inside the radio, etc...
before I start to open up every little part of my car maybe someone of you know where it really is located in the a6 c7 (2013)?

Please help me buddys!

The 2013 Audi A6 comes equipped with 3GP (3G MMI Plus), which comes equipped with a Bluetooth module as part of the MMI electronics. Like most other parts, it is technically replaceable, but would require opening the MMI unit, de-soldering the old Bluetooth module, and re-soldering a new one. Why must the Bluetooth module be replaced?

Cheers!

Do you know how the module itself looks like? We took the MMI unit out of the car and opened it but couldn't find anything that would look like the spare part.

Obvious question I guess, but was bluetooth standard on the A6 in Germany in 2013? The spec varies so much between markets it may be that telephone prep was an option back then. Decoding the spec sheet in the handbook or spare wheel well should show whether the car has telephone preparation. As to what the module looks like I suspect it will be little more than a chip and a few components on a PCB
