Brake controller mounting
Yeah, I think you guys are right (if too funny on the don't use 1st and 3rd
). It shoudl work there in that little cutout if you set it back far enough.
I don't want to use the cubby hole itself cuz that's where I keep my shades.

You might want to re-think that... the prodigy has an adjustment wheel on the top to adjust the amount of voltage sent to the brakes. It also has a lever on the bottom to manually apply the brakes. You have to use both when setting the unit up (voltage required varies with trailer weight). I am not sure it would be as easy mounted in the cubby hole.

Mine is a Prodigy that is mounted in the cubby hole. It is sticking out just far enough that the manual lever doesn't hit the dash. Basically it is in as far as it would physically go. I can see it fine and still get to the button and wheel and lever. It is mounted way over to the left so there is still room for my sunglasses. I actually took the dash apart and mounted the pocket mount with screws and I can still remove the controller from the mount if needed. I had to file some of the top and bottom outside of the mount to fit nicer in the cubby hole. There is a lot of extra plastic in the mount so it was not a problem. One of my friends has a stick shift and has his mounted below the cubby and nothing hits.
