Can't help you with a pic today, but I have mine mounted on the knee board on the left side of the steering column. I have yet to hit it with my knee.

Yep. . . .mine on the right hand knee board. I am tall enough so my seat and knees don't touch it. My wife at 5ft does touch it if she forgets to adjust the peddles up and not just the seat.

Where ever you put it, it MUST be easy and natural to reach. The ability to hit the manual control without contorting your body is very important.

I mounted my Tekonsha P3 on the bottom of the rght side knee board and pointed it up. I can reach it very easily it's a clean intallation, and out of the way. Sorry truck is 2K miles away right now so no pic's.

I mounted mine in the pocket below the HVAC controls. I had to cut out a hole in the back and it fits snugly but it is easy to reach.

Same here. Fits perfect, and you dont have to worry about ur knee allways hitting it.

X2. Easy reach for all the wires. Never came close to hitting my knee.

I put mine down here, once I adjust it for each load I see no need to watch it or touch it but hey thats just me.



This is just fitting it before I cleaned it up but you get the idea.

Here is a picture of mine mounted at the right knee. I can reach it while sitting upright in the drivers seat.
