Hi,
Are you referring to the Mechatronics control unit? That is what controls the transmission. If that is correct, it is located in the transmission (valve body).
See pic 1 below. I highlighted the control unit.
Let me know if that helps.

When you say TCU, I assume you mean the transmission control unit? If so, they call this a TCM which is actually the mechatronic unit which is basically the valve body inside the oil pan.
I am attaching the info below on this unit so please take a look at it and let me know if you have questions on this.
Thanks

Thanks to you both. So this car has no external TCM just like an ECU to the motor?
