No Tuner/Amp in the usual spot on my '23 F3 - has it moved? Or gone?

Traded in my '17 F3 Ltd for a new '23 F3 Ltd. I know, if there's no pic, then it didn't happen :roflblack: So here's one. Meet NB (New Blue).

I removed the passenger seat to install my Seth Laam and to my surprise, the spot where the '17's Amp/Tuner is empty - the Amp/Tuner is not in that space like on my '17. Does anyone know if it should be there? Or did they upgrade the stereo without one, or is it moved to a different place? I was also surprised that the side bags didn't have the plastic removable piece to keep things from falling out. Cost cutting? Dealer forgot to put 'em in? Just reaching out for some info?
Also, and as usual, iMotorsports took good care of me. Thanks

Can't help with the amp placement, but I found the plastic pieces in the side bags to be more trouble than they were worth.

Tuner/amp under the rear seat? I certainly didn’t have one of those in my ‘16 F3-L. Did you buy your ‘17 new?
They removed the saddlebag barriers as most people took them out anyway. I just leave an empty bag in there and fill it as needed. It works far better than those pesky side pieces that fell out so easily.
