Amplifier Part Number?! What can actually fit?
I am shopping my amplifier for my 2013 G63 at the moment since mine was fried.
Interesting fact:
The body shop give me an amplifier part number: 212900862980
I guess it was from Mercedez EPC. And the actual PN from the amplifier took out from my vehicle was: 2129005213
So why is it different from PN for same part and same vehicle?
The only reason I am asking it's because the part number they gave 212900862980 is way harder to find and almost $1500 more than 2129005213.
Should I match the PN of the actual part from my car? Or should I match the PN of what the body shop told me?

Mercedes often supersedes part number with a newer number. If the body shop looked it up, they would find the newest number which is not necessarily what what installed in your truck. If you can find the exact PN that is in your truck, do so as you don't necessarily need the newer version. Indeed, with the MOST fiber bus system, an original PN part will most likely be plug and play. The newer version may need coding to make it backwards compatible.
