Mine mounted on the right side of the stearing and to the left of the ash tray. just high enough for me to use it if needed and out of the way for the most part.

Thats where I mounted my Sirius unit.

I put my prodigy under the dash above the gas pedal. Out of the way but still easy enough to reach in an emergency or to adjust. Lately I have been driving with the seat up pretty close and upright and I don't hit it.

That's excactly where i've got it, although I have a little more angle in it to recess it into the hole better. I'm glad someone else thinks the way I do. At 6'6" i don't need it in my right shin.

Mine's hidden behind the knee bolster. I don't really need it that often and I can get to it by pulling the bolster down and letting it hinge at the bottom.

That's where mine is. Bang my right knee on it occasionally, probably not the best place for it to be in an accident.

I'm gonna mount mine just to the right of the hood release.

Does anyone know which fuse on the truck controls the section where the brake controler plugs in under the dash? I think mine is missing or blow 'cause it does not have any power comming out of that plug in and it should.

Thanks,

Igor.
