i have the prodigy mounted in the cubbyhole under the radio. i drilled a hole in the back for the wires and friction fit it in place. i will try and get you a pic sunday if you want.

this is where I put mine. I hate the controller though, will be trying out a Tru-control this year once we get back into towing weather. I have a picture uploaded here already that shows my placement, dont know how to get it show here. Anyway I put mine to the left of the column on the lower piece that is removeable to access under the dash. there really is not much choice.

I mounted my prodigy just to the right of the steering col. and down on the flat part of the dash easy to reach for trailer braking and adjusting braking preasure

I see you have a 6 spd as well, not sure if your dash is the same as my 06 but I put mine here:

Mine is to the left of the wheel under the dash. Out of the way and still very easy to grab in an emergency.

i actually have the 6 spd auto so that spot wont work, but from your pic I can see it should fit just to the right of the wheel


thanks guys

OK guys, I need some more ideas!! I put it next to the center console hi up on the knee bolster and I hate it!! It is so verticle I can't see it at all! It is kinda close to my leg andmy brother cant drive my truck now(he is 6'3")

Any other placement ideas I would be more than willing to try.

You may want to ask this over in the Towing and Hauling forum...

Chris, I currently have mine to the right of the steering column. Constantly bumping my shin on the darn thing. Have the seat and pedals back as far as my arms will allow and still hit it...
Think I'm going to mount it on the A pillar shroud that holds my Quad Commander. Should be able to fit a small piece of flat bar inside to screw the P3 bracket to. It would be easier to view, out of the way and way easy to hit the manual if needed. I'll probably trial fit it in a couple of days and can post pics if anyone's interested.

BAMBAM,
I looked very hard at that spot you mentioned. I bet I put the controller in there a dozen times and could not decide on how to make it tight enough to stay. After I beat my head on the A pillar repetedly I noticed something. It fit right under the steering wheel!!
I ended up putting it just under the hump where the knee bolster flattens out and it looks pretty good!! I don't seem to bang my knee on it at all and now my keys dont get caught either.
I will try and post a pic when it gets light out

Thanks for the ideas
Chris

that is one of the places i looked at as well. i just had a hard time seeing it when i put it there and i wanted to be able to see it. glad it works for you.

I have mine mounted on the side of the 4x4 shifter housing. It is low down there, but is a lot easier to reach that most locations I've seen. I don't want to have my face 4 inches from the airbag if I'm in a panic stop and plow something in front of me.
