You mean in front of shifter under the infotainment system? Other than wire harnesses? I’m not sure but I’m curious now.

Yes ! and also the opposite / rear end of the Center console as well. There appears to be a lot of unused space between the back of the center console storage hole and the rear of the console.

the ECM. (electronic communications module) lives there. It phones home on you whether you want it to or not.

sounds like it needs a Faraday cage to quiet its reports…?

I used tinfoil in my garage to create my faraday cage.

There is metal surrounding most of it - except for the windows .... Perhaps they use the outside antenna ...??

There is a very detailed how to on this site that tells you how to trick it to think its out cell tower range.
I didn't bookmark it but should be easy to find

The back end of the center console houses the power inverter (if equipped). It's a good amount of space if you don't have one. I'm adding an aftermarket inverter there and plan to do a write-up.
