Yes, you can install the Hayes G2 Brake Boss Trailer Brake Controller w/ Mounting Sleeve # HA81792BB in your 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The connector should be mounted on top of the emergency brake bracket, it's gray in color.

Once you find it all you need to do to install this controller is plug the Custom Wiring Adapter for Hayes Brake Controllers # HA81796-HBC into the port under your dash and then plug the other end into the # HA81792BB, mount it, and you'd be good to go.
