Gotcha, the APIM sits directly behind the touchscreen and HVAC controls. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.

Yep, it was for a 2024, I did more digging and found the SYNC module, it is at the left side of the dash, here is a diagram that shows its location. You dont need to remove the screen. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
