Navigation Module 2008 W211 E-Class

[fraggles]

Hi there, wondering if there's any advice out there for a problem with the navigation module in the boot of my E-class.

It failed a week or so ago, so I thought I would try and track down a replacement. phoned Synter in Bristol and they quoted a whopping £3015 - yes that's 3 thousand, not a typo! so off to ebay I went but I cant find an exact match for the various numbers on the part number sticker.

This is the part number sticker from the unit in my car

And this is a part I found on ebay

as you can see the association number and serrial numbers are different but the rest seem the same. I wonder if anyond could shed some light on these part numbers of if you know if different models of the navigation module will work on my command unit?

Many thanks

Digits 7 and 8 of the part number (ie 10 and 57 in this case) are the Modification Number. This identifies the modification status or variant of the part. The first version or variant is generally numbered 00, and numbers increase with new variants. A higher number does not necessarily mean the part is newer or better, it is assigned somewhat randomly and not all numbers are assigned or used in strict sequence.

So what you have is certainly the same part but at different mod levels.
