my question is: where can the radio module be? I tend to think that it should be in the trunk, but can anyone explain please how to find it? there are a lot of wires and connections there, so please help me out here.

FWIW I recommend you send it back and get the Dension DICE kit from EAS or BSW if you are determined to use the Dension Icelink then get the cable from EAS that just links the CD changer 3 and 6 pin sockets to the PCB. If you do the UK version for connection to the tuner under the spare it is a pain and problematic. If you see other threads you'll see stuff on loss of Bluetooth, Nav,voice,poor connections etc etc it goes on.

I got the Ice link from the same UK company had the PCB replaced twice but still was temperamental kept cutting the link so I cut my losses and bought the DICE I have not had a problem since.
