Possible Mount Solutions for P3 Brake Controller on Truck with Ham Radio
Question:
I have mounted under my 2010 Silverado dash a 2 meter/440Khz ham radio. How far away must the P3 controller be mounted from the radio? Left of of steering column. Can the P3 be mounted on top of the dash? I appreciate your help. Thank you,

Helpful Expert Reply:
You should be fine having the P3 part # 90195 on the left side of the steering wheel and it wouldn't interfere with the Ham radio. You can also mount it on top of the dash as well like you mentioned if that's what you'd prefer. If you have long legs this might be the way to go as having the controller to the left of the steering while might mean you'd kick it.
The controller just has to sit level side to side and face the rear of the vehicle squarely to function properly.
