That's a good question, as finding the exact right spot for the main unit of any flat tow braking systems can be perplexing, but for your 2024 Chevy Equinox, there's actually a perfect spot for the unit of the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR.
We did an install of this on a '24 Equinox, and as you can see by the photo, our installer went ahead and just mounted it right at the front of the engine bay using some self-tapping screws. Another option is right on top of the fuse box, which you can also see in the photo I added of the install we did on a '23 Equinox. For this you'd need to drill some holes on top of the fuse box and use some nuts and lock washers.
I like the first option at the front of the engine bay for the # DM86VR control unit simply to keep the fuse box lid untouched, but either spot is perfectly viable.
