Thanks ozjeepster. I think I might get a pro like you to do it. Don't want to stuff it up. I've passed this info onto the guys at Opposite Lock to get it fitted up for me. Should have it installed later next week.

I mounted mine in the center console!

I fitted my P3 in centre consol just as Vinesh87 has.
It is out of site for the 95% of the time i am not towing and only one hole at the very rear of the pocket.
I used 3M Ultra High Strength double sided tape to hold it to the plastic insert. (i removed the rubber mat first).
All wires feed neatly from the battery to the unit and then under the carpet out through the spare wheel well to the 7 pin socket.
Do not listen to others recommending a non propotional unit, they are simply not as effective or safe in my opinion.
I have used both the P2 and now the P3 and never have I had a "braking momment". The P3 has essentuallty the same braking sensor as the P2 but the controls are all on the front plus it tells you the voltage and current draw from your brakes, which is great for identifying caravan brake problems of a loose wire on one of the magents.

Latest info fro Redarc Advert

When towing a caravan or trailer it’s not so much the going that’s important. It’s the stopping!
REDARC’s next generation Tow-Pro Elite Electronic Brake Controller sets the benchmark in trailer braking. No other electric trailer brake controller on the market can match Tow-Pro Elite.
Simple to install and operate, it continues to be the
only brake controller to offer two types of braking... automatic mode (inertia or proportional braking) for highway conditions and user-controlled mode for off-road.
Suitable for 12 or 24 volt systems, Tow-Pro Elite will operate both electric and electric/hydraulic trailer-brakes.

Redarc is the only brake controller the auto electrician who fitted mine will use, I just set mine on automatic mode and it adjusts the braking to suit the amount of braking one applies to the vehicle.

He only fits them next to the headlight switch he reckons it's easier to fit them there.

Done deal for me, now to get the brake wire loom for the Jeep from someone, bit more reading, fitted out 3 grands with P2/3 controllers, the last WK1 Limited was a pain in the butt to get power from the brake pedal I'm sure the will be worse.
