Came across one of the 4 E65s with a rear fridge and no rear A/C shipped to Canada in a local junkyard. $80 later and it was mine, with a short pigtail consisting of four wires:
Ground, Light, Power and one to the E65 Power Module.
It's not a direct fit, as the bracket is completely different from the E65 to the E38. However, I'm in the process of making a bracket that will hold it in place using the existing holes in the partition that divides the trunk and the cabin.
Pics of it in the E65:

Bracket removal (can't align it in the hole with the bracket on):

That's awesome! I wonder how many of these fridge E65's are in the US. I should keep my eyes open for something like this since E65's are starting to show up in the junkyards here.

Pretty cool retrofit!
Which junkyard did you go to?
Apparently it's been there for several years.
