Electric brake controller

I have a 2004 f250 the Last owner mounted the brake controller right Nader the steering wheel I have had the truck a week and banged my knee on it twice. I need to change it out as the one I have is better is there any problem with mounting it in the little storage compartment in the dash? If there is no problem with this location is there going to be any clearance issues with drilling a hole in the back to run t he wires through.

You do need to be able to get to it in an emergency in the event manual operation becomes necessary.
