The part numbers for these new ETC modules are as follows:

M113 engine - 026 545 73 32

M112 engine - 026 545 84 32

For the 220, the improved software has a part number of 022 545 51 32 which is already installed in all but the very early production 220's, so please check prior to replacement.

NOTE: Does not apply to tiptronic shifted vehicles.

The ETC modules can be ordered using the 26 extension on the part number and the VIN to ensure proper version coding from Germany. Part numbers do not apply to AMG vehicles.

Please remember that software will not correct a hardware problem, so please check the vehicle carefully before changing to assure that the control module replacement is required.
