Question Mounting Brake Controller

I need a recommendation where to mount the brake controller on a 2003 Dodge 2500. Mine has the towing package, I bought a Tekonsha Voyager brake controller but I cannot determine where to mount it. Does someone have a recommendation?
Thanks loads,
natstayl

Top right corner of the knee bolster is where I have mine.

I have mine mounted on the left side plastic knee pad near the top of the grey plastic. I can see it when pulling and can reach it without bending down to much.

I use the ash tray, since I don't smoke.

The knee bolster is the removeable plastic panel just in front of your knees. Centered below the steering column it is held at the top by clips and the bottom by two screws. Remove the two screws and pull back and down to disengage the top clips. Mount the brake controller, reinstall the bolster and hook up the connector. Easy. Some like it on the left side but I prefer the right side where my wife can reach it in an emergency. Hope that helps.
