The 12-pin connector is likely to be as above, the towbar electrics.  There is a 'Black 12-pin Connector' listed as X393s in the boot.

But requires the towbar electronics module adjacent the battery to be fitted prior to this socket being useable..
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....
Please note...
Anything I say is only from my personal experience and knowledge..
I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)
