Differences between Dietz 126x VSM modules

Hello all.

Can someone tell me the difference between all those Dietz 126x TV modules? Are they the same hardware and firmware, and different cabling, or does the module itself differ?

If the difference is only in the cabling, it wouldn't matter to me if for example it's the correct 1266 module for our X3, as that cable seems to connect to the cd-changer in the middle console, and I don't have that connection there. I'd need to redo the cabling myself anyway.

The EAS VSM special module looks nicer than the Dietz ones, but Tom is selling them in a price that translates to me into more than 300 euros (and will come from USA to Europe, which might mean additional taxes), whereas I can see Dietz modules in German shops at way below 300 euros, and even cheaper for second hand modules. But it would be easier to search for any 126x, than the specific 1266.


So, does anyone know what goes in the Dietz multi-pin connector (not the navi blue connector)? I'm assuming the following:
- Audio L+R out, coming directly from the Audio L+R RCA connectors, and going to either the radio, cd-changer or tape audio in, depending on the car.
- Break pedal ground, to disable the module when on moving.

What else?
