    It should be part of the telematics module, not sure where that is for your platform/year but service information should have it.

    Assuming you're looking to disable it, be aware that disconnecting/terminating the antennas on the module generally is not enough - The traces on the internal circuit board will still allow tower communication when you are close enough to a tower. For my vehicles I usually desolder the SIM chip (these are generally still a separate chip on the board) and then cut open the cellular module and desolder the RF power amplifier chip - On the vehicles I've done this on (up to 2022 model year for several brands) this seems to guarantee no communication and also no errors on the dash. Always good to test the mods before reassembling.
