From the information I was able to gather, installation of a brake controller like the Tekonsha Voyager, # 39510, requires some hard wiring and there will not be a connector present to plug in to under the dash. Instead, you would need to use a 4 and 7 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7, to install a brake controller.
I have included links to 2 FAQ articles along with a video showing the installation of an ETBC7 kit for reference. The FAQ articles provide step by step instructions and details that explain the installation. The kit comes with everything needed to install a brake controller including the wiring, fuses, and a 7-Way trailer connector.
