Hi All
I have done a few serches and found no help on this, so anone with an 80 where did you mount your controler? I am looking at getting a Prodigy P2 and from what I gather the leveler the mounting the better, is in the ashtray slot the best place? as the under dash panel is on quite a slope.
Thanks,
Trevor

Hullo Trevor
Mine is mounted between the steering column and the facia approx level with the heater controls.
I think the suggestion that is must be horizontal or as level as possible, is a bit of a furphy, as the people who fitted
mine put in about 2 a week (in a range different vehicles) and know their stuff.
Mine works fine at about 60 degrees
The main thing is to have it handy so that you can readily use the hand slider control for activating the trailer brakes independently from the foot brake and that it is accessible for the passenger as
well, as there are times when it is an advantage for them to operate it for you.
Cheers
Andrew
