Where are you guys affixing your brake controller at?

So as not to mangle your knees as you enter and exit the truck??? Anyone care to share some pics? I was thinking to remove the ashtray, but I'm not sure the unit fits just yet...

 

Left side in coin tray. I can close it up when not in use.

 

Don't suppose you'd have a pic of that?

 

Do a search. There is a thread started that gave me the idea.

 

I searched and found it for you.

That would be great but he has a first gen that doesn't have that coin tray.

 

The first post the OP has a second gen and shoes a pic of the controler in the coin tray. Works for all 05-15.

 

I'm talking about the OP of this thread that's asking where to mount it. Says he has a 2003.

 

Oops, sorry

 

I like the look of that a lot. Unfortunately it won't work that cleanly with a P3. First I don't think the P3 will fit in there, but also you would have to make a special accommodation for the manual trailer brake lever on the bottom of the controller.

 

My automatic truck, under dash, left side of steering wheel. On our company trucks, we had 30 -37 Tacomas, we mounted them right side, under ebrake. Because the truck we're sticks and the controllers got kicked when clutching.

 

ran the wire from the wheel well plug under the steering wheel and drilled a hole thru the console cover

 

Don't have a pic, but a couple weeks ago I finally mounted my P3 to the outside of the coin tray. Honestly my thought was if I screw it up I can just replace the coin tray. It's working fine with the exception of the fact that it wants to pull the tray open. I'm going to have to put a latch on it or something. But I was thinking I may buy a replacement coin tray anyway, and then when I don't need the brake controller I could conceivably just remove the coin tray with the controller and put in the other one.
