⚠️ CRITICAL FITMENT CHECK — DO NOT BUY BY YEAR ALONE
Mercedes changed telephone modules, optical-network versions and equipment specifications during production. Your original unit must show A2118703226 or 211 870 32 26, must be a UHI / MOST module, and the label plus connectors must match the photographs. A registration lookup by itself is not enough. VIN/EPC confirmation is strongly recommended whenever the original label cannot be read.

THIS PART WILL NOT FIT WHEN:
  • The number on the original module is different from A2118703226 / 211 870 32 26.
  • The vehicle has an earlier D2B optical system rather than the required MOST/UHI architecture.
  • The vehicle was not equipped with the relevant factory telephone wiring and module rack, unless a complete retrofit is being performed.
  • The electrical or fibre-optic connectors differ from the listing photographs.
  • An aftermarket head unit or modified optical loop has changed the original system configuration.
  • The buyer wants Bluetooth music streaming only; this telephone module does not by itself guarantee audio-streaming support.
  • The application is W204, W212, C207, W221 or another later architecture unless a Mercedes parts catalogue confirms this exact number for the VIN.
WHERE IT IS FITTED & WHAT IT CONTROLS

This module is normally mounted in the boot or luggage-compartment electronics area behind trim, often on a bracket with other audio/communication units. The exact side differs by model, body style and factory equipment, so identify the existing unit before removing trim.

REAR SEAT / LOAD AREA BOOT SIDE OR REAR TRIM TYPICAL MODULE RACK

The unit forms part of the factory hands-free telephone system. It communicates on the MOST optical ring and may interface with COMAND/audio equipment, the phone cradle or adapter, microphone, instrument display and steering-wheel telephone buttons. Vehicle coding and the installed phone adapter still determine the available functions.

POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS OF A FAULT
  • Telephone menu unavailable, inactive or showing a system-unavailable message.
  • No hands-free call function, pairing or connection through the fitted phone adapter.
  • Steering-wheel telephone buttons do not operate as expected.
  • Microphone input, call audio or caller information is missing.
  • The module cannot be reached by a suitable Mercedes diagnostic system.
  • A failed MOST node interrupts or destabilises related audio/communication equipment on the optical ring.
Diagnosis note: similar symptoms can also be caused by a fuse, wiring fault, damaged fibre-optic cable, phone cradle/adapter, coding issue or another failed unit in the MOST ring. Diagnose before replacing parts.
WHY CHOOSE A MATCHING FACTORY-FIT MODULE?
  • Correct casing, mounting arrangement and connector design when the exact number is matched.
  • Designed to communicate with the vehicle's original COMAND/audio, steering controls and MOST network.
  • Avoids the wiring alterations and uncertain compatibility often associated with low-cost copy components.
  • A recycled factory-fit part can, in some cases, save as much as 70% compared with an equivalent new replacement.
  • Reusing serviceable components reduces manufacturing demand and keeps automotive electronics in productive use.
RECOMMENDED TOOLS
• Non-marking trim-removal tools • Torx T20/T25/T30 bits — chassis dependent
• 8 mm and 10 mm sockets, ratchet and extension • Connector release pick and inspection light
• Mercedes-capable diagnostic/coding equipment • MOST optical bypass loop for diagnosis
• Battery-memory support where appropriate • Gloves and eye protection
GENERAL FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Confirm compatibility first: photograph the original label and check A2118703226, UHI/MOST wording, casing and connectors.
  2. Park safely, open the luggage compartment, switch the ignition off, remove the key and allow approximately 10–15 minutes for vehicle modules to enter sleep mode.
  3. Follow the correct workshop procedure for the vehicle. Disconnect the battery negative terminal where required, taking account of memory, window, steering-angle and security procedures.
  4. Remove the relevant boot-floor, rear or side-trim panels using non-marking tools. Keep clips and fasteners organised.
  5. Locate the telephone module and re-check its label before disconnection. Take a clear photograph of every connector position.
  6. Release the electrical plug and MOST fibre connector carefully. Do not pull the fibre by the cable, bend it tightly, touch the optical ends or allow dirt into the connector.
  7. Remove the retaining screws/bracket, transfer any required mounting pieces and install the replacement without trapping wiring.
  8. Reconnect all plugs fully, restore the battery connection if disconnected, switch the system on and check telephone, microphone, steering controls and related audio functions.
  9. Scan the vehicle for faults. Coding, variant configuration or MOST-ring diagnosis may be required if the module is not recognised immediately.
  10. Refit trim only after a complete functional test.
Important: these are general guidance notes, not a substitute for the correct Mercedes workshop procedure. A competent automotive electrician or Mercedes specialist is recommended for optical-network diagnosis and coding.
ESTIMATED REPAIR TIME & STATIC LABOUR CALCULATOR

Typical same-number replacement: approximately 0.5–1.5 hours. Allow a further 0.5–1.0 hour for diagnosis or coding where required. A retrofit into a vehicle not already equipped can take 2–4+ hours and may require extra wiring, brackets, adapters and coding.
