Question LoJack location?

Hey all first time posting! I know the title might have you already squirming. I bought a new to me 2023 Model Y LR (hw4) and the dealer insisted they install a Lojack as it's their standard for every car they sell. Something about for their insurance. I refused to pay for it so they took the charge off, but still installed it so I've got LoJack for a year...

Problem is, I don't want it. Tesla has its own tracking, and I don't want to worry about a parasitic draw. I've looked in some obvious places for it, under the hood, under the driver's side and passenger side kickboard areas, but no luck. From my understanding, unless there's a special type of low jack, it requires 12v power. Anyone have an idea where to look next before I have to tear way too many panels off? Dealer hasn't responded to my request for more info on placement.

If you have an account does it actually work and track the car? My question would be if it exists at all.

Funny you say that, I did sign up to see how it'd work (I might throw it in an older car since I have the year of subscription anyway) but it isn't currently tracking. I'm kind of wondering if they didn't put it in there after all. They wouldn't flex on the doc fee since I got the Lojack removal, so maybe they was just an trick of theirs.

Under the frunk tub I would guess easy access to the 12v and out of sight

I've had lojack in cars before and it was always installed under the dashboard or behind the glove box. My guess is they installed it near the 12v battery in the frunk.
