Where on my L/C 100 can one fit a Tekonsha Voyager brake controller. Under the dash on the drivers side there doesn't seem to be any component one can mount the brackets onto.
There is no doubt an easy answer but I am not seeing it so far. With so many L/C's towing, dumb me can't see the wood for thr trees, please help.
Regards
KEN

I just had one fitted and it is on the left side of the steering wheel under the dash. Fits neatly, doesnt tocuh my knee at all and i can see what boost it is on if need be plus can use the manual braking or increase the boost very simply.
I thgink the model i got was the Prodigy, it was whicever was the slightly more expensive and from memeory the Voyager was slightly cheaper.
Every one i spoke to said the same thign both are good but this one is the cream of the crop, and was about $100 more.
Works great the few times i have been lucky enough to use it.

I mounted ours permanently by screws in the ashtray hole as described above. Have to take the console out first. Here's the trick - it all just pops out if you do it in the right order. No screws at all! (Spend hours searching for the hidden screws that weren't there!) Start with the drink holder to rear of gearlever then just tug away, working your way forward until you have freed up the bit with the ashtray in it. Nervy though.
Only problem with ours is that it slopes slightly up to the front so when accelerating uphill it can give a brief error message saying it's on too much of a back-down incline. Have to get around to taking it out and shimming the forward edge of the bracket to level it out.

thanks to all. I would never have thought of the ash tray as the ideal location.
Anyhow I have aquired a second ash tray, cut the front out and fitted the controller. It fits exactly for width. I used contact adhesive to make it one. I intend to fit a four pin conector so I can set up when required. Other than that I just have the standard ash tray in place.
Great arrangement as far as I am concerned. It all works and looks great.
Thanks again for thr advice
KEN
