Default brake controllers need picture/ideas??

Hi guy's I'm going to put in a brake controller and was wondering where you have installed it, any pictures of where you put it in?

Thanks Regert

bottom right on that panel that kind of just pulls off after you take out those two screws at your feet. Real easy to reach, real easy to wire in, and real easy to use. just take that panel off and square it up with the panel all the way towards the bottom to make it look clean. I dont have any pictures of mine, but its a great place to do it.

I have the Prodigy mounted in the little space under the HVAC controls. I have been meening to put some velcro in there to help hold it in place, but I've been using it as is for 2 years now. It fits nice and tight the way it is just pushed in there. If you have the trailer tow package on youtr truck there is a wire kit available at most camper/trailer sales places for about 12-15 dollars. Plugs right in on the floor, then into the brake controller.

How bout this. I love it. Out of the way and easy to reach and read. No sun glare. The only thing was placement. it is very close to the steering wheel so be sure you've got room to turn your steering wheel around completely w/out hitting.
