X5 towbar electrics

[normal bloke]

Help!
I've borrowed a mate's (very new) X5 to tow something tomorrow and cannot find the standard 7 way electrical plug socket. Can anyone enlighten me?
NB. the owner has never used it in the time he's had it so I'm hoping that its hidden somewhere rather than not existing yet.

Is the owners manual in the car ?

If it is RTFM.....

Ha! I've looked but can't find it! Is there an instruction manual to tell you how to open the glove box?

I don't know about the X5 but does it drop down with the towball?

If it is very new it could have the 13-pin connector.

This is worrying - it is very new I think and my trailer only has the ordinary 7-pin jobby.
