I cannot find the location of the transmission control module. I've researched it and I have seen it's under the center console, in the driver's side wheel well under the liner or in the transmission. Anyone knows its precise location. It's a 2011 4 motion VW Tiguan s.

I believe it's up under the front left wheel well under the inner liner/mud guard.

Is there anything I need to do with the new one to like to set it when I put it in?

It does not say if it needs programming so it should be plug and play.

Just a side note. I usually disconnect the battery for good measure while it's being installed. That way when you put it all back together and wake the car up again it will relearn the new parameters as if the old one was never removed. Hope this helps.
