Here's where mine is located
It's out of the way of your knee and there is plenty of room to hide the wiring without drilling.

I have a '03 1500, same dash setup. I have mine setup just over the right knee also. Lets face it, if you get in an accident that is horrific, it isn't going to matter if the controller is there or not. Your knee will hit the dash and break either way.
A minor accident won't cause a problem.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Dodge designed that area as an impact zone for your knee's and verified it through crash testing. It was specifically designed to prevent knee injuries. Those that have had knee problems know it a life long ailment.
It didn't take more than an extra 15 minutes to mount the controller in a safer place so that's what I did. If others want to mount it there then that's fine, I just wanted folks to know all the facts.
Cheers,
Scott

I put mine on the left side of the steering wheel up higher. On the right side is the compressor/gauge controls for the air bags. Easier to run the air lines for the bags, that's all.
