I pulled this info from Alldata:
Notes
Trailer Module
The trailer module is fitted to all vehicles and is located in the RH side of the luggage compartment, behind the removable trim panel, adjacent to the rear auxiliary fusebox. The module is required to separate the load circuits of the trailer from the load circuits of the towing vehicle. This allows separate monitoring of the vehicle lamps and the trailer circuits.
The above lamps are connected to the trailer module via direct connections to the applicable lamps. The rear fog lamps and reversing lamps are not directly connected to the lamp units because these lamps must be disabled when the trailer socket is connected.
The LCM communicates with the trailer module via a bi-directional, dedicated serial link. The rear fog lamps and reversing lamps are controlled on this link. The trailer module also uses this link to transmit error messages for the trailer lamps to the LCM.
The trailer module has two modes of operation; sleep mode and normal mode. Sleep mode is initiated by the LCM after a predetermined time. In this mode the trailer module processor clock speed is reduced to a minimum and all loads are switched off to keep current consumption to a minimum. The module operates in normal mode on receipt of an applicable message from the LCM. The required loads and the current supply for bulb failure detection are activated.
The LCM communicates with the trailer module every 2 seconds with a normal mode telegram. If the trailer module no longer responds, the data link to the module is switched low for 1 second after ten unsuccessful attempts to establish the communication. When the LCM switches the data link low, the trailer module is 'reset'. If communication is not established after thirty attempts in succession, the LCM assumes the module is defective and records an applicable error message in the error memory.
If a replacement trailer module is fitted, the LCM instantly recognises it via the data link. Connection of T4 is not required to establish communications between the LCM and the trailer module.
Hope this helps.

The harness is build in under the dash however - the wires are not set into a connection specifically for the electric brake. The electric brake unit connection from the dash is a separate connector to be purchased and connected to the dash harness - then the electric brake unit can be plugged into that unit.
So in short they fibbed to you - as they would have no way of knowing what specif brake unit you would be using so how to know what connector to use?

The tekonsha unit I bought does have the proper connector I just cant find the harness under the dash. Atlantic British shows a connector in this area for A RR sport.
2008 Range rover electric trailer brake harness, Tekonsha brake controller for ford is supposed to be connected to car wiring under dash, However, I cann not find the connector under the dash. I installed the trailer electric kit from Land Rover, the wiring diagram from the kit shows Trailer module D295?
I have no issue with the main trailer electrics I have installed the wiring kits on 2 of my Range Rovers, I need to hook up an electric brake controller and according to the manufacturer of the controller (Tekonsha./Cequent) there is suppossed to be a direct connection to the Range Rover wiring harness under the dash I can not find the connector. LR part #YWJ500480 the elctric kit for the trailer shows a Trailer brake module in the circuit.
I will look again I have the 3035 adapter bought with unit. When I first looked for it I pulled
everything. The air bag center console the works ndid not see it.
Apparently I was trying to find the easy way out instead of relying on my experience with all things British. The 3035 is supposed to fit but it does not. There is no direct connection off the wiring harness. I went back to the trailer socket and traced the electric brake wire( should have done this in the first place!. This wire dead ends in a connector immediately, no possible way for a hookup at the front of this car. After reviewing other sites such as Atlantic British, they sell a wiring harness to fit the brake controller and clearly state for Range Rover sport and LR3 not Range Rover. Oh well, another lesson learned.
