w213 Headunit

[Brown2186]

Hi
I have just obtained a Japanese imported 220d Diesel Estate into the UK. I've removed the Headunit with the intent to replace it with an European equivalent.
In my ignorance, I thought the unit number would start with W213 900 etc. but was shocked to find it numbered as A 222 900 17 19 / 001 Q1. On the vehicle Data Sheet it states that the Unit is a NTG 5.5.
My questions are 1. Why A 222 and not A W213. 2. What would be an equivalent to the Japanese unit i.e. W222 900 17 19. 3.What do the the numbers following the 900 signify.
W222 units I see for sale have the same connections as Japanese Unit while I am struggling to fin a w213 unit with these connections.
I assume that having found and fitted the correct unit I will need to enter the new Vin or similar, any advice on this would also be appreciated..
Sorry for the many questions.

Give Comandonline a call and ask for Mark or Richard. 01276 451579
They can give you all the info you need, especially regarding getting a second hand unit and coding it to your car.
Have your own Vin# handy for reference.

I would suggest that: A 222 900 17 19 / 001 Q1 is the Part Number for the Head Unit!

Thanks for your advice. Still can't understand the A222 and not A213 but then again, strictly speaking, it should probably be S213 as it is an estate.
I intend to give Comand a ring on Monday so will update you following the call.
