I took out the glovebox, the side panel and a smaller black plastic cover in the footwell. This cover was about 6" square and sort of quadrant-shaped, held on by a single screw. The speed controller is behind there, attached by 2 torx screws to the side of the heater assembly. It is mounted with thermal paste to dissipate the heat it produces (I used some I had left over from a PC build). The controller is about 2" x 1‡" with a 6-pin plug which connects above the unit, behind the upper air duct. I've got to go in there again at some point because I want to install an aux-in for my MP3 player, so I want to have a look at the phone wiring. If you want I'll take some pics when I do!
