Where to put Tekonsha Prodigy P3 brake controller in 2020 Tacoma OffRoad?

Has anybody found a place to mount the P3 in the 2020? The usual places are gone. For instance, there are no longer any cubbies such as the one that used to be to the left of the steering wheel. That cubby (or blank plate) now has switches in it.

In my 2012 Tacoma I actually mounted it in the cubby that is front and center, but now even that is being used for the Qi phone charger (which is awesome when combined with Carplay). I sure wish there was a way to put one of these devices under a seat or something and just wire the controller parts to the dash or something.

While we are at it, does anyone have a way to mount the P3 temporarily so I can try it out before doing something permanent? I've tried velcro, but it becomes fairly permanent too by the time I make it heavy duty enough to hold the weight of the P3.

 

Could always get this. No mount needed. https://www.curtmfg.com/towing-electrical/brake-controls

 

That's pretty interesting! The idea of not needing to find a place for the brake controller device is pretty tempting. Do you I'd be able to replace the plug-in part on the Tacoma with that blue-tooth piece?

 

The Curt Echo wireless brake controller looks really interesting and goodness knows I'm having a tough time finding a good location for my Prodigy P3 device. Can't help but notice that the reviews on Amazon contain some complaints. Anyone here have direct experience with it?

 

I put mine in the center cubby above the phone charger. Still plenty of room for the phone. I also stuck my Scangauge in there next to the P3.

 

here is whee i put mine in my 2017. worked very well where it was. i don't trust that curt thing myself..

 

I had mine like this and I kept busting my knee on it getting in and out.

 

I would pull it off and put it in the glove box when not in use. I used the quick release bracket

 

Been trying to figure this out for a couple of weeks now... No pretty install I think...

 

P2 mounted here, mounted the same in the old 2nd gen. Within reach and out of the way, I never bump it getting in or out, must be my sick dance moves.

 

Get a @MESO cubby replacement and you can choose your button layout and add more... Not sure if this will work, without a photo of your current setup.

 

Also... here's a thread with a bunch of suggestions too.

Wow the MESO template looks really good

 

The MESO option is better but this only cost me my time.

 

I think this is the route I’m going to go, how is it mounted or is it just interference fit?

 

I hate knee mounted modules, I always always hit them. Go the meso option and never look back.

 

I used some scrap sheet metal I had. Bent it to make a couple brackets. It screws to the brake controller factory mount locations and then attaches to the factory cubby hole mounting spots on the trucks dash panel.

I however at first to mock up the idea used some plastic from a storage container lid and it worked as brackets as well.

I also had to modify the controller lever switch. I cut the old one off and then drilled and tapped the remaining pieces. I used a piece of stainless rod, bent it to fit and then cut threads on the end. I then happened to find a ballpoint pen laying around with a chrome plated button and I used that to dress up the end of the new lever. None of that would have had to be done, however the stock lever isn’t long enough for you to reach it if you have it inside the dash as far as I do.
