Default Brake Controller Install Question

Where is the best location for a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2008 Ram Power Wagon? I know where the connector is under the dash, but where can the controller go where it can be reached and seen but not in the way. I am planning on using a Prodigy Brake Controller. Any advice and pictures would be great.

You can get tricky and do like I did. Takes some metal fab skills

When I bought my '03 it was on the other side, but about the same height. More primitive mount, though. Direct to the knee bolster.

I put mine in the same spot but it does contact my knee while cruising, Not many places close to the driver to put one and keep it out of the way.
