Hi,
We have a 2005 Armada LE and I just got the Prodigy. I got one with a Nissan connector and it hooked up ok, but there are a couple of things I haven't been able to figure out.
1) Where have you guys mounted it on the dash? I am thinking about mounting it directly under the steering column where there is bump out of plastic. Every other place it seems to be in the way of something. Anybody have photos of their brake controller installed?
2) I am sure there is something simple I am missing, but why is there still power to the device when the car is off? The only 2 trailers I have pulled are a small seadoo boat (no brakes) and my 23' Contender (brakes but not electric). Is the brake controller applying the brakes to a trailer even when the car is stopped and turned off? Does this unit draw a lot of power? Do you guys remove the Prodigy when you aren't towing?
Thanks
Tony
