Can anyone explain why now it is possible? Sure it has something to do with the new module being a separate unit, insnt'it?

That's part of it, yes. But another, larger part of it is that production issues delayed the FM-only tuner, and a design rework was necessary. They decided that since they had to rework it anyhow, they'd try to source some AM/FM parts and work those into the design. So that's what you'll be able to get.

Please note that the AM/FM tuner module is not yet available, they are still working on it as of this writing. I do not know its due date.
