Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. That's why I borrowed scr38's idea for installing my Prodigy brake controller. I had 2 main issues that concerned me. 1. I want to be able to reach the manual control fairly easily and 2. When not in use, it should not be visible.
I created a sub-harness with the Prodigy wiring and OEM supplied pigtail. Next I used Molex connectors to join the two. I routed the harness under the steering column, near an existing factory harness. The connector for the Prodigy simply tucks up under the dash when not in use.
I used Velcro's Auto fasteners (Velcro Part # 90879). Regular Velcro will NOT stick to the plastic lower dash panel, even says so on the package. The 3M version was not much better. It takes 24hrs. to fully cure. I went with the grey color, but I have already removed it and used the black. The grey did not blend into the dash as I had hoped (see pics). I used the metal bracket supplied with the Prodigy and placed the 2nd half of the Velcro to it. It sits at a 45 deg. angle which is well within specs.
All that is left is to hook it to an electrical brake trailer (mine is hydraulic) and perform the setup.
