By the way, here's a neat trick to see if you have an original SES module or voice recognition in the TCU/ULF - give a nonsensical voice command that sounds sort of like an actual command. For example, "penguin rotation". If you have the original SES, it will come up with whatever command it knows that sounds something like what you said - in this case, "parking at location". A TCU or ULF with voice recognition will say "Sorry".

I wouldn't try this when someone else is in the car or they'll be reaching for the door handle and a quick exit before you know it.
