Default A8 ECU location and diagram?

I recently purchased a 1999 A8 and plan on installing my navigation system from my last car soon, but do not know where the ECU is located in these cars or have a diagram of the pin readouts. I only need to hook up to the speed sensor wire. If anybody has this info and would share it with me, I would sure appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

"Pin readout" place you find under the ashtray. Ecu is in left side near windscreen (under the bonnet)under the plastic cover. You have to open few torx-screws to find Ecu.
