after taking the center console out it's there at the drivers leg held into the box with usually + screws and some 8mm bolts/nuts on the valve, it just slides out of the box once you get the screws and valve undone, it's a tan color usually

If he's looking to fix a problem related to it, like leaking coolant in the console area, it might actually be the heater valve that connects to the core, at least it was on mine and I think there were two types of cores, thus, two types of valves you could choose from. Many times it is the seal from the valve pipes that connect to the core. Getting access isn't too bad, pretty much like Winfred said to get to the core, it's just time consuming, as usual.
