Replace HFL in '07 TL Type-S

I apologize if this has been asked already. I searched around the forums and there is so many posts regarding HFL its hard to find specific answers.

I have a 2007 TL Type-S and the HFL went on mine a year or so ago. Phone would never pair and it was draining the battery so I just pulled it out. I want to get a replacement but am having trouble determining which ones out there would be compatible. The label on it is "83251SEP" but it appears that there are many different revisions. Does the revision matter when looking for a replacement? I see a lot of the ebay listings state "04, 05 ,06" for the car year. Does that mean it won't work on my 07? Are certain revisions better then others?

Thanks,
zang

Well after looking in to "godin technologies" I saw that some people were baking their modules in the oven to reflow the solder so i decided to give it a try. I let the oven warm up to 385°F and put it in upside down for 10 minutes. I took it out and let it cool down. When i lifted it up a capacitor and an inductor had fallen off, I pulled out the soldering iron and managed to get them both back on. Popped the thing back in my car and she lives once again! We'll see how long it lasts.

using a kitchen oven for the solder reflow is like using a bulldozer to clean your room
