Thread: Where to stick it...

Compared to the interior of my Defender, Andy's looks spotless!

Havent had a spring clean for some time,the paintwork is worse,loads of sctatches to polish out,black landrovers scratch white!!!!!

I mounted my Prodigy on the LHS of the instrument binnacle between it and the A pillar and run the cables down through the gap in the dash/pillar corner with some split conduit around them and they are hardly noticed.

I also used self adhesive velcro for the bracket rather than screws through the dash and it went through the QLD outback and 18 months so without moving.

Will try and post a pic once I take them

Well I got around to the installing the P3 today. I ended up putting it on the kick panel above the "screw" on the LHS of the steering wheel that opens the panel. Ran the wires down through the OBD socket's opening. I've moved the OBD port so that it sits inside the kick panel (easier to get to). The P3 harness I terminated in a 4 pin plug so I can pull the whole lot out. I've taken the red wire from there and spliced in to the GP wire off the brake peddle switch. I've then run the white wire to the earth point that has the -ve lead on it, the black wire to the +ve terminal in the engine compartment fuse box and the blue wire down under the car (in conduit) to the trailer socket as this was easier than running it internal.

Unit comes on when the brake peddle is touched and stays on for 15 minutes before powering down to a standby mode. I was worried about this as it comes directly off the battery and has no off button. The instructions are a bit vague on this. Won't get to test it out until I get my Kamper in July so at present if I play with anything I get a big flashing red symbol to signify no trailer connected.

Will take some pic's tomorrow.

Hi DM
Let me know how you go with yours.
Mine stays blank unless I actualy manually operate the brakes to wake it up.UNSURE if its still doing its job with no display.
No display to say they are working when the pedal is used.Havent had chance to reall get into it,see if you find similar.
The brakes are working OR DRAGING as they get warm after test braking.
Hoping the Nanocom unit when it finally turns up fits next to the EBC

No problem Andrew, like I said I don't have a trailer for another month, but I'll let you know when I get a chance to try it all out in July.

one of the reasons I went with the AccuTrac,, it DOES fit nicely in the gap between the pillar and the binnacle,, and its still made by Tekonsha.
mounted with double sided velcro, wires disappear down the corner,,
handy to reach,, just needs a small cover over the led,,,,

I recalled seeing this post and now that I have the D2, as of today the task of where to put it! Well I ended up putting the protogy controller inside the centre console compartment box. Given the lack of room and the use only being about 3 times a year for the van, it worked out okay, so it sits vertical on front side wall so only have to have the box open for setting for particular journey. I used the removable caddy and it can sit pround by about 6 or so mil given the recess in the lid itself.

So I can't use the panic stop, but then again, if its that bad I found hanging onto the steering wheel, brake and anything else worth grabbing with a few hail mary's is better for stopping.
