Default Roll over control module

Hi,
I'm not getting signal from the roll over module. Can someone tell me where it is physically located in the car please?
Thank-you.

From the Turbo Cabriolet service manual:
Removing roll−over protection control module
1. Remove ignition key
2. Disconnect the battery and cover terminal or battery.
3. Only loosen the centre console and move it forwards a little. => Removing and installing center console
4. Remove the two rear belt buckles and take out the seat wells.
5. Undo the trim of the seat wells from the carpeting and lift up in the middle.
6. Using a support tool, support the trim and unscrew and remove the plastic screw from the control module cover.
7. Disconnect the electrical plug connection. Undo the shear−off nuts with socket wrench insert => Tools and materials, and remove the roll−over protection control module.

I don't have the normally aspirated service manual, and I don't have a cab so I cannot vouch for this.
