New to me 2016 R1200RT. Question about deluxe top case connection

I recently purchased a low mileage 2016 RT. I got two cases with the deal the small black top case and a big 49L deluxe with brake light and interior light. I went to put the big case on the bike and found out there is no barrel connector for the case. I know the bike does not have central locking but I am unable to locate the top case connection barrel on the bike side?

Does anyone have an idea on a clean connection for this top case? Can I somehow add the connector into the canbus system? I really don't care about central locking but it appears without that, I do not have a connector to operate the top case interior light and the brake light.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance to achieve adding the barrel connector on the bike side. THIA
 
Can you post a pic of the area under the passenger seat? That will help us figure out whether the barrel connector has been removed or is out of sight under the tail rack.
 
If the bike doesn't have central locking it won't have the barrel connection under the passenger seat. You'll need part # 61128548712 . It looks like the entire wire harness for central locking.
 
Thanks for all the responses. I think I am in the position strata describes. After a lot of searching led me to look into the lack of central locking. Thank you for the part number. I am guessing then to use the connectors and remove the parts of it I don't care about. Central locking is not on a must have list.
