Default Pictures of trailer brake controller install

I just dropped my Jeep off to get a brake controller installed for my pop-up camper and couldn't find a good place to put the controller. Anyone have pictures of a good location that doesn't interfere with the clutch pedal on a 6 speed?

Not a great shot but if you look in the mirror you can see where mine was mounted. Was not at all in the way and gave me easy access to the manual slider brake on the controller. It was mounted right on the underside if the dash above the speakers.

I installed mine right under the speaker, easy to reach and the wires are all hidden away.

I don't have a pic readily available, but mine is on the dash panel in front of my right knee. I dont even notice that it is there most of the tim. What are you towing with your JK? I tow a starcraft 18sb.

where did you wire in your signal line from. I cant remember what wire to tap into to let the controller know that the brakes need to be turned on.

I am towing a 12' Coleman popup camper. Should be right up to the limit with a dry weight of 2750. Can't wait for the first camping trip with the Jeep.

I ended up installing on the passenger side under the dash. With the clutch pedal, it was in the way anywhere I put it on the drivers side. I like the look of this install, but seems to only work in an automatic.
