The unified connector interface adapter apparatus has a housing at the second end adapted for securement within a towing vehicle trailer harness receptacle located near the rear of a towing vehicle. The unified connector interface adapter apparatus is adapted at first end to receive a selected round towed vehicle plug having a plurality of connectors extending from the towed vehicle wiring harness. The unified connector interface adapter apparatus is also adapted to provide an interface between complimentary round and non-complementary connectors between a towing and towed vehicle. The housing may also be sized to receive a circuit board therein, which aligns the connectors on the first end with the appropriate connectors on the second end. Said circuit board may also electrically interconnect said connectors with circuit breakers and/or diagnostic visual illuminators.
