Unless its an after market unit (Plug in unit, that plug into the rear lights)

That's why I said "Factory fitted" as did the OP.

The 13 pin connector was developed in the late 1980s.
The current standard for the connector is ISO 11446:2004
They had become increasingly popular since 2008.
The advantage over the old 12S/12N pair of connectors is that the 13 pin unit is designed to be waterproof so as to prevent problems with the connector corroding.
