Prodigy angle tolerance?

[ECappleman]

I plan on buying a Tekonsha Prodigy brake controller. Where I want to mount it will put it at the maximum recommended angle of 70 degrees. Has anyone mounted one at this angle and did you have any problems?

Mine is mounted like that and so far so good.

If you don't smoke put it in the ash tray hole. Nice and convenient there.

Yep, that's where I installed mine. It's easy to get to the manual brake lever and I didn't have to poke any holes in the dash. I'm guessing mine is sitting at 15 to 20 degrees.

My Edge Comp is hideing in there, it is set so I can close the ashtray and conceal it.



I plan on putting the brake controller in my mini console that sits in front of the middle seats.

Been about a year since I installed mine and the instructions are not here at the house. As I remember the instructions, there is a code that will show up if it is mounted at an angle beyond those recommended. Might do a trial fit and see if you get the code. Apparently, it will work equally well as long as it is mounted within the angles indicated in the instructions. Mine is close to the 70 degrees and works fine. Important that your mount allows you to reach it readily for manual activation.
