I can tell you how to install a brake controller but the # 3015-P adapter will not work with the 2009 Escalade.
If your Escalade has a factory 7-way towing package, there will be a bundle of 4 wires taped underneath your dash: red, dark blue, light blue, and white. The part you actually need is # 7894. There is no plug underneath the dash on newer GM/Chevy/Cadillac vehicles. You will wire the Tekonsha connector to the wires underneath the dash.
I have included two links to guide you through the wiring. The first is a page with a walk through of wiring a 2008 GMC Sierra, it will be mostly the same to your Escalade. It includes a wire matching that tells you what vehicle wire goes to what Tekonsha connector wire. The second link is a video demo on the same 2008 Sierra.
You may also consider a circuit tester, like part # PTW2993, to make sure your connections are functioning.
