2010 F150 TBC Install Question

So, I have a 2010 F150 and am in the market for a travel trailer. I understand that I need a TBC.

I want to OEM part so it looks factory with my interior. My question is about the install.

My truck came with a wiring harness in the glovebox. I looked under the dash and it is wired with the 14 pin connector already. I looked at the OEM controller head and it is ready for a plug in connection. Do I simply plug the 14 pin controller from under the dash into the OEM Controller Head? Do I need to do anything with the harness that came in my glovebox?

I understand I will have to get the computer "flashed" at the dealer.

Thanks for your help, just unable to navigate around the web to find this answer, before I buy a controller head.

I believe the harness in the glovebox is for a 7 pin connector for the trailer itself.

all that plug is for (one in glove box) is after market TBC hook ups.
do you have the tow package? best way to tell is, you will have a 4 pin flat and a 7 pin round trailer plug under your bumper. if so then yes the OEM TBC module will work for your truck! if you only have the 4 pin flat plug you will need some wiring
