The 07-08 module IS different, the connector is not at all the same as the 05s. I am getting the idea that it is more failure prone than the one before.
Mine failed when I put the top up without the engine running, the top controller stalled, the top froze, and the airbag module came on. A guy read it, or tired to, at a "tech day" we had and it would not talk at all.
