Where to mount a brake controller in a 2014 Toyota Sequoia?

I need to put a brake controller in a 2014 Sequoia. The overly large console limits the available space under the dash to mount it. The steep angle of the dash means I cannot mount it on the lower part of the dash. The placement of the air bag takes up all the horizontal surface below the dash on which I might otherwise mount it. Has anyone mounted on in this model vehicle, and where did you put it?

  • I use this one and just hook the remote to the air vent when towing Tekonsha RF

    The remote is only for info and to manually apply the brakes. All the controlling electronics are on the unit bolted to the TT.

    A Tekonsha P3 (and probably others) can be mounted at any tilt (up/down) angle. I've got mine mounted pointing about 40 degrees down. Whatever you decide, you need to make sure the manual control is easily accessible, that's the first thing you need to get to if you get sway.

    I was going to post a photo to be sure I was looking at the same thing, but I can't find an option to do a simple upload of a photo. So, what I am looking at is three buttons L-R blank, VSC Off Indicator, and Rear Window Control, below that on the left is a series of 7 horizontal parallel indentions, and then below that on the right is an indention with a button, which I think if I recall is the maintenance reset button or something like that. So I am thinking you are talking about the area below the horizontal indentions and above the button.

    If so, that causes it to sit at a very steep angle. I want to replace my old time-delayed controller with a proportional one, anyway, but I thought they needed to be relatively level? I have not yet investigated which one to get.

    I had the Tundra which is basically the same dash and interior up front. I mounted mine into the plastic where it wraps under the dash, above my right knee. Two self tapping screws hold it in fine and if you ever remove it, you won't see the screw oles. You want it in a position where you can quickly get to it in an emergency. If you have the Tekonsha Prodigy, you have a lot of options in terms of angle as to where you can mount it.
