Thanks for all the responses. I got no response over at a Dodge specific forum. This forum is great! The unit turned on when I plugged it in, so I assume it is getting power.

If you go through your manual, Dodge is very specific in saying nothing should be mounted there. It's a knee bolster and it's designed to save you form being crippled in an accident.
It took me an extra 20 minutes to mount mine in a cubby in the center dash.
It's your choice though.
What cubby did you install it in? The storage spot under the factory radio? I replaced mine with a double-din Navi unit. I also have a front bench seat as well, which might change things. I will have to see how I like it where it is now. Thanks for the heads up, food for thought!!!!
