Towing Package on 2014 GLK

Just picked up a really clean 2014 GLK with only 12,000 miles on it for my wife, really nice car. It has the factory tow hitch installed but for the life of me I don't see any wiring connector for trailer lighting. Is it hiding on me or is that something that does not come from the factory...?

Many Thanks....

Thanks but I have the build doc that's available on that website that I found here. All it said was "towing package" with no detail.

I have a '10 which I know is different but I have a little lift up black plastic "door" to the left of the receiver that accepts the standard round connector or in my case, a round to flat adapter.
If you don't see it upon close examination I would have the dealer add a pair of eyeballs on your hitch area. Maybe something isn't right?

Perfect guys thanks, mine is a MB part but it looks like the first owner decided to NOT have the dealer install the wiring kit part of the hitch. Maybe they only used it with a bike carrier or something like that.
