The wireless PIR requires firmware V9 to work. However, firmware V9 can be installed on any MOD-SIX CPU that has an RF module (everything except the very first CPU). Note that V9 firmware removes support for hardwired PS/2 GPS receivers. There can be some interactions when operating the wireless PIR with multiple clocks on the same channel, baud rate, and address. The "ack" that the clock sends back to the wireless PIR will probably be garbled by additional clock(s) sending acks at the same time. However, the wireless PIR doesn't really care about those acks (if configured for LED flashes on transmitted and ack-ed packets, you'll probably get red flashes instead of green due to the garbled acks). However, it is recommended to turn off all LED display on the wireless PIR to extend the lifetime of the coin cell battery.
