Trailer brake controller wiring?

Alright, so I got this T-connector:
Tow Ready - T-Connector Outback, Forester - 118467 — hitchweb
Along with a Universal brake control installation kit:
Reese, Pre-Wired Brake Mate Kit Adapter, 7-Way Flat Pin Connector with Brake Control Wiring Installation Kit — hitchweb
There's a nice wiring diagram here:

And I got the Tekonsha P3:
Tekonsha - Brake Control: "P3" - Inertia Activated; CAP: 2 to 8 Brake Systems - 90195 — hitchweb
I might put the wires through the cabin, as I've seen here:

3 Questions:
(1) Any recommendations/pics of a brake controller mounted in a 2010+ Subaru? I'm wondering about removing the panel below the steering wheel and cutting out a small rectangle to poke the controller face through.
(2) Where do I tap into the brake wiring?
(3) I also got a solenoid to mount under the hood (so I don't drain the battery). Where can I tap into a switched power source?

I wonder if one could use the rear power outlet to supply power and use a custom 4way to 7way plug adapter?
