Aftermarket remote locking system for W123

I bought a remote system on e-Bay for my SDL that has worked fine for a couple of years. I hooked it up to that device in the trunk that might have been the vacuum generator, was never sure about that.

The W123/617 of course has a mechanical pump at the front of the engine. Has anyone made one work with this car? Where would one attach such a thing on the 123?

I found this one online, advertised to work with pneumatic systems:

I also found this one for about 4 - 5 times the money:

The former a British item, the pounds translate to about $30, shipping will add some, the latter $175 with shipping.

The unit I put in my SDL cost me $30 on e-Bay.
