As MJ says, the controller is in the boot, above the battery. I have a photo of it somewhere, but can't find it. It is posted on here on the forum, but it's a black plastic box maybe 10x5 inches in size and about an inch thick, with some heavy cables coming from it. There are also a few fuses just above it, though not sure if they are relevant.

As to the screen itself, I believe there are four connections to it. One in each bottom corner (can't find that photo either), which you can maybe see in the gap between the dashboard and the A-pillar. The top two you can see if you remove the lighting module up by the mirror.



EDIT: Found the picture of the module in the boot:
