How did you mount the electrical connector?

Right now mine is just zip tied up close to the steel bumper beam, planning to try to fab up a bracket to get it in a more useable spot.

Does all the factory electronics towing functionality (such as disabled rear PDC, etc) and kick-to-open tailgate still works?
