Question:
Hi Samuel! Thanks for your response to my question regarding the RED44FR, which I plan to order to use in my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited along with the two additional plug-and-playinch wiring harnesses you suggested. In addition, it would be helpful to know if you sell a mounting plate that I can use in the existing 12v/cigarette lighter dash opening, which is where I plan to install the remote control knob. Please advise. Thanks!

Thank you for the kind words!
I was unable to find the diameter of the 12v outlet/cigarette light opening on our 2008 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited, but there are mounting plates for the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR available that very well may fit.
For example the Universal Mounting Panel for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controller Control Knob # 331-TPSI-001 fits 1" diameter openings, so if this is the size of the opening in your dash this would work perfectly.
If the opening is a different size just let me know and I would be happy to see if there is a mounting panel that will work for you.
I included a video of the # 331-TPSI-001 for you to take a look at.
