I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha and he said your Tekonsha 2030 Mark 12 will work with the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7, since the wiring is the same as the current models.

The functions for each wire are as follows: black wire carries 12V power from the vehicle to the brake controller (via a circuit breaker); red wire carries brake light signal to the brake controller; white wire is ground; blue wire carries the controller output signal for the trailer brakes.

For reference I have linked an article concerning brake controller installation.
