Todd -

That's very possible.  As noted in my previous post, Bosch superseded the
hall unit last year and *may not* require/have that extra piece I see in the
photo provided.

Look at the photo at this link:

http://www.airheadparts.com/viewDetail.asp?strMasterCat=&idproduct=6777

That is the original style 1237 010 027 hall unit.  Personally I have not
seen the superseded unit (1237 010 039), but I'll make a note to do so
tomorrow morning (note the additional CC to remind me when I go in tomorrow
morning).

Thanx for the additional photo.
