Thanks!

No with older hardware there is only one terminal block so it is an either or thing. The newer Kids have 2 terminal blocks so you get both

Is it possible to add a second connector on the board to get acces to the ags function?

Thanks!

Not really since there is circuitry that goes along with the TB to translate the digital signal from the processor to the 12v out on the TB, and even if you had that circuit you would have to route it all the way to the Processor pin and even if you were to do all that then the Bootloader version will block and map the signal to the WBJR pin since the bootloader version tells the software the Hardware revision of the board.

So no, not possible I'm afraid.
