Location to install Brake controller

Hi,I want to install a trailer brake controller in a 2003 EB with the console

I may be wrong, but I believe that mine has a plug that is hardwired directly under the drivers side of the dash.

Yes ,I know here the plug-in is located. Looking at where to install the controller itself.

I mounted mine on the drivers side as far right as it could go. No problems or interference at all.

I have a Prodigy controller and put it in the ash tray. Seeing that we don't smoke, I just pull out the ashtray (not the whole door) and slip it in. I bought a adaptor that plugs in under the dash and into the unit. When I"m not towing (I tow twice a month) I just tuck the wire under the dash and put the controller in the glove box. You do see the wire coming from under the dash when in use, but so what. Only I see it and only when towing

Yes ,I was thinking getting a small unit and remove the ash tray liner and fit it in there.
In my previous vehicle , had used a flat trailer connector and just plug in as need,but I would like to install this one in permanent location.
Any other ideas?

Thanks
