Can I use an AHM3+ trailer module on my 09 E70?

Spent quite a bit of time researching the wiring for the AHM and discovered that in essence there are two main variants; the AHM3+ and the AHM4R. (There are earlier versions but they don't seem to play a role for newer cars.) The 3+ seems to have been phased out late 2007 which makes me wonder if that was a model intended only for the e53?

Between the 3+ and the 4R unfortunately the plug on the harness changed from 16 to 20 pins. Pin and wire sizes were changed as well. There is an instruction bulletin from BMW how to change the pin assignments when changing from the 3+ to the 4R. I deduced what the pinouts are for both but unsure where to go from here. I am now faced with having a 3+ module and a 4R plug. I can work around that but wondering if the 3+ even works in the E70. Anyone on here know which module they are running?
