I won't bore everyone with my struggles with the PCM 3.0 in my 2009TT, but suffice it to say, I'd like to try replacing the amp and inspecting its connections.

I've read at least 5 different places where the amplifier supposedly resides: frunk under the plastic, back by the subwoofer, under the passenger seat, behind the glovebox, behind the PCM, frunk under the carpet, etc. My car is a coupe with SiriusXM and no CD changer.

Can anyone tell me exactly where the Bose amp is found in a 2009 TT?

EDIT: For posterity, it is 100% under the passenger seat. I promise.

 

frunk under plastic is my pick, passenger side

 

In my 2009 cab it is under the passenger seat
