Just wondering where others have been mounting the controller? instructions says mount on metal, not much metal inside my cab? Is metal important?

Yeah the metal pulls the heat away from the unit so it's essential. If not the brain can short out fairly quickly

I dont understand why they want on metal? We installed on a limousine put controller in center console besides that great kit and bright..

I didn't. The controller box I mounted on the plastic panel just under the steering wheel. The controlling switch I left loose in a crack between the dash and a panel just south of it on the drivers side. It didn't get in the way, was still easy to reach and was not easily visible to most eyes. Hope this helps.

I installed everything but the ride sensor behind the rear seat. Drilled a one inch hole through the floor in the cab corners for sensor wires and air lines. One inch wire covering was fit on the holes to protect the lines and wires. The occasional noise of the compressor running lets me know the system is working.

I just found this Peripower mount on ebay. Thank you for that advice. Was there a reason you chose the X over the Y shape? And is it fairly easy to remove the dvd player from the mount? Is it quick to remove from the mount from the headrest? I ask b/c we'll have to remove whenever we aren't in car b/c of crime in our city. Thanks

If you mounted the controller in/near your console you'd have enough wiring to mount 2 lightbars under your dashboard or front seats, aimed to illuminate the footwell, and you could run the wires for the other 2 under your back seat and mount them in trunk under the package shelf. You could probably also wire the controller to both your instrument panel (or headlight) and trunklight circuits so that the lights will come on when either the trunk is opened or the headlights are on.

I have mine mounted in a 2006 DodgeRAM 1500 Mega Cab. Bracket is mounted directly below the Temp/Fan control panel and above the Cup Holders compartments.Fits well and doesn't interfere with any of the controls or cup holders.

yes, the control buttons are located below the main mounting piece. It's awkward, but I've done it several times.

I would suggest putting the compressor somewhere it can cool down easily. I have mine installed in my Pontiac Sunfire and put the compressor in the trunk and drilled a hole through the bottom and with a little more air line and wire I wired it under my car all the way and came up before the halfshaft and have my horns in my hood. (Too big to fit behind the headlights, etc). Personally I would not enjoy having it in the cab because when it is filling with air, it may be a little loud and could kill the vibe in the vehicle. Hope this helped!

I installed this pad at the foot of the bed, lengthwise and on solid wood, away from where the boards meet. it's worked well. Make sure you leave enough slack to mount your controller.

I mounted mine in the trunk with only the controller on the dash. You'll need another item from Pioneer for the wiring

Hi Lorraine, The mounting kit comes in the package. It is different than the original mounting on my 99 Miata, but it worked ok. However, I caution that I was not happy with the BOSS 637UA and replaced it within a couple of weeks. The main controls, such as power on/off and track select are small and awkwardly placed and difficult to manipulate while driving, and it sometimes lost track of where it was last playing when I powered it off and back on (which is very inconvenient for books on CD).

I didn't use the case controller but instead installed a separate LCD controller...mainly just to fill another bay and have the controller at my finger tips. The best option is the MB controller, which I have but didn't use.

Answer here...Yes, it is complete with a mounting bracket. This is our 4th or 5th Tekonsha brake controller and they are extremely reliable. It you run into trouble installing it, you can "Google" youtube video's where regular people give you instructions for installation. My hubby used a video for some extra help. Good luck!

I have a 2012 F250 crew cab and I mounted mine on the left side frame under the drive door. It works well but is noise when I add air. I did make a cover to go over it to keep snow and ice off of it

I had been wondering this as well since the manual makes no mention . But , it seems that the amp chassis needs to be dropped to access the tube . There are 4 screws on tabs that drop from the chassis itself, inside the cab. . As well , it may be necessary to take out the 2 screws that line up with the chassis that are in the Tolex covering . Obviously , make sure the amp is unplugged before starting any of this . Hope this helps . Might call Bugera cust svc too . LMK . Im curious too .

Depth is the biggest issue. I agree that using rails would be best, but I successfully mounted mine just using the front mounting tabs. I do have other things below it that give some extra support.
