Cerbo gx with an old phoenix multiplus

I have an older approx 2003 phoenix multiplus on my boat and have recently fitted a solar system with a victron MPPT and smart BMV.

I’m thinking about fitting a cerbo gx ( I’ve got one on my home system and like how it works)

Will it be comparable with my older multiplus?

So I can connect all 3 together through the cerbo.

I do have a router onboard so it will connect to that and I can remotely monitor it.

Thanks.

Where will I find the cpu type and firmware?

I’m guessing it was installed when the boat was built in 2003 so may be a bit to old but I you never know.

Remove the front cover to see the main PCB with the CPU in the upper left.

On the CPU is a white sticker with a 7 digit number.
