Does anyone know where this GPS module goes on a 2018 Ducato?

All the images for the wiring I can find on-line, show a short connections cable (11) with no extension, so it doesn't look like it goes behind the cab mirror or in the passenger door mirror - which kind of implies it's behind the dash (I'm looking to fit the module so I can't check on my van)

Any ideas or can someone check behind their radio please? :)
 
Hi

Both the windscreen glass and the dashboard material (ABS ?) are effectively transparent to the incoming radio frequency signals used by the GPS satellites. I would therefore expect the antenna to be just under the top of the dashboard, somewhere near the centre where it gets a reasonably symmetrical "view" of about half the sky. Unfortunately this is only my logic and I cannot confirm it.
