Datamarine Link 5000 & compass question

I have a functioning Link 5000 Datamarine system. Mentioned in the manual is a L500 Datamarine compass as an option. Does anyone have one to sell?

Does anyone know if another electronic compass would work with the L5000? There are only two wires for compass input. Could a Autohelm 4000 fluxgate compass work? (3 wires pluss 2 wires power).

Got the answer from DMI. The compass that came with the unit uses an old format, N+1 whatever that is. I finally also saw that in the manual. I cannot find a N+1 compass anywhere.
