I finally got around to getting my Tekonsha Prodigy Brake Control in my 06 today. As I was doing the work, I figured I'd get my camera going to put up a write up of how I did it:
There are only 2 scews that hold the lower dash panel on. The right one is near the center console:
And the left is accessed AFTER removing the small dash trim piece to expose it. I pulled the weather-strip out and then the little dash piece just pops out.
This will then expose the lower dash bracing - which is RAW steel!!
Here is the L bracket that I made to mount the control; out of some scrap aluminum.
The slot is there from the factory to hold the lower dash panel. The two holes are holes I drilled to mount the new bracket. I used 3/16" hardware. Mine is 1" in length, but could be a little shorter.
After everything is mounted, plug in the factory harness into the back of the control and then into the factory harness. (http://www.clubfrontier.org/forums/f8/brake-controller-connector-location-help-55379/#post822734) Then just put the dash panel back together!
