I mounted mine in the cubby hole above where you mounted yours'. The engagement lever is far out enough where I can hit it if necessary. I have a wider cubby hole because I don't ahve that switch there. What is it for?

That's where I mounted mine too.

Andrew, I too tried to fit mine in the little cubby hole first, but it didn't fit.

It will stick out of the cubby. Mine is about half in. That way I can activate the lever when necessary

Did you secure it with the mounting bracket? How did you screw it into the top of the cubby?

I did it,I did it !!!!! The hardest part was getting that blankety blankety plug into the socket after getting it through the little hole.. I drilled a 1/2" hole,very carefully,thru the back of the little tray and ran the wire from the Prodigy thru it,then I shortened the wires on both the OEM plug and the Prodigy and used wire splices to fasten them together and then shrink wrapped those..Then came the job of my large hands trying to get the plug in the socket with that DURN big wire connector in the way..(have no idea what's all in there and I wasn't about to unplug it to get it outta the way)..Finally got it and the little click as it seated was really a beautiful sound..All the lights lit and it said "C" when I plugged it into the TT....I pushed the Prodigy into the tray and it is really in there tight and won't come out w/o pulling on it...Everything is where you can get it...Now I'm ready to take the TT for a pull and get it tweaked before taking a trip to the beach in a couple of weeks..
