Mount brake controller with velcro?

So I purchased a Tekonsha P3 electronic brake controller for my 2015 Dodge Durango. Rather than drilling into the dash, I was considering mounting it with industrial velcro. I plan on mounting it in front of my right knee.

Has anyone done this? Did it stay (I live in central Texas).

Thank you.

    Using the standard bracket, I don't think it would be secure enough. The Prodigy P2 has an optional pocket mount, and this does work well with velcro. The P2 brakes the same, but doesn't have as fancy of a screen. I don't know if the P3 will fit the P2 pocket mount.

    Hard to imagine velcro holding up to the weight. The hook & loop may stay fastened, but I'd expect the adhesive to give out on the other side of the tape.

    I drilled my holes into the ashtray door and mounted my P3 there. I figured I could probably buy a replacement ashtray if I wanted to someday sell the truck. Just a thought.
