Where to mount brake controller on '06 Cummins??

Hi Everyone, I just got my B&W 5th wheel hitch installed and was going to hook up my brake controller today, but I couldn't find a decent place to mount the darn thing since they changed the interior in our '06 cummins. They really enclosed the areas under the steering wheel and between the gas pedal and the center console. I looked for over an hour today trying to find a good place and couldn't come up with anything. Can anyone give me ideas on what they did or better yet, post some pictures. Thanks.

I had the same problem. The re-design of the lower dash panel under the steering column doesn't leave much room.

I ended up mounting it in the center console just above the transfer case lever. It sticks out a bit but is not obnoxious.

I also mounted mine in the indententation infront of the 4 wheel drive shifter, if I'm not careful, i smack my knuckles when putting in 4 wheel. I have an STL and tried to fit into the pocket below the heater controls, but couldn't fish the wires into the space.

That's where mine is also, but I used the plastic holster thingy by enlarging the hole that is right behind where his controller is mounted. It puts the controller back about an inch.

I mounted my Prodigy on the knee bolster to the right of the steering wheel. Fit in there great!
