Rear Blind Spot Radars versions

Car is MB E550, 2010.

I have to change my radars because the system is not functional. I had an error code for one of the rear radars. So I pulled out both of them, they both seem very heavily damaged by salt. I will change both but there's a problem.

I have a feeling that someone before me had fiddled with the radars (second hand car). I'm trying to figure out the numbers on the parts.

So the ones that were in the car are with a code 000 905 02 10, there are also HW 09W36 and SW 10W14 versions. I assume these are the hardware and software revision dates. So the software is from April 2010 and Car was manufactured May 17 2010, pulled from vin, which makes sense. But there is also one other revision number that is marked as DC which is 10W41, this is October 2010. What does this DC mean? Is it the assembly date of the part? If that is so those are not the correct ones because they are made after the car... or what? I did found spares on ebay with the same exact numbers but with DC 22W30.

Is there a way to know for sure what did the car come with?
Are radars with different part number interchangeable as long as the product number is the same (see P/N in the picture)?

This is a pic of the ones I pulled from the car:


sorry about the weird orientation

All a made by Autoliv and Veoneer later when they split from Autoliv but have different part numbers for Mercedes over the years with different software and hardware revisions.

That is why I'm so confused. Doing a vin check calls for Mercedes part number 000 906 20 00, that is also the same p/n from GM 6181175, but a few months older HW and SW dates. Question is are they all compatible?

REPAIR + PREVENTION HARNESS SOAKING...

You will also need the rear bumper harness that got wasted by wet oxidation.

When it's all said and done... go seal your front bumper harness to prevent identical soaking.
