Default TCM Location - 2010 4S

Can someone please point me in the direction of the TCM on my 2010 Panamera 4S?

I replaced the PDK sensor pack this evening, brought the car up to temp and used my PIWIS to calibrate the PDK and it failed 2 min into it now my car will not even start and is listing every error in the book...

The main fault is that there is no communication to the PDK control module.

I checked the fuses and they are good so I assume I bricked it somehow.

I can not even shift the car out of park to get it towed someplace...

Thinking about buying a used eBay module and installing but I cannot even find where it is located...

Please help!!!

I'm still pretty new to this car, but it seems like a lot of electronic parts need specific coding when they are replaced before they work correctly, so it might not be as easy as just swapping a used part. Just be careful with that idea and figure out what coding needs to be done first to make sure you can do it.

I have the computer to do my own coding… That’s what got me in this mess in the first place

incorrect, that is the valve body. I am very familiar with that. I was looking for the location of the transmission control computer which I already found. It is under the dash to the left of the steering column.

Hi I have seem to have gotten my self into the same situation as you. I got a PIWIS III so I could do my pdk fluid and filter change. I was starting to have some rumble noise on acceleration. everyone suggested a trans calibration. I got the piwis III unit started the calibration. got thru the first part and had a failure. since then my car would not shift just as you suggested. I did the same and ordered a transmission control unit as the code that popped up suggested and now I cant seem to find the control module.

I know this is an old thread but I'm having the same issue as you with the pdk tcm,did you try a used tcm from another car and make it work ?
