Post GLC replacing tuner control unit

Folks

Just had my GLC into dealership to diagnose why I have no radio - display showing 'device unavailable'.

They are claiming it isn't working due to water damage which I find concerning - I believe this is located in the boot / trunk? I'm being quoted £1k to address!!

Part numbers they are citing for replacement are
A2229008911
A222900531780

I'm not sure what each of these are as I can only find details on A222908911 - which seems readily available second hand on ebay.

Is anyone able to provide some help on if I need both parts or only one - if so how easy is it to undertake this replacement myself? Where in the car is this part?

Cheers

Years ago I used to work for a supplier of OEM radios. One time a vehicle model had an issue with water leaking around the antenna and running along the antenna wire into the radio causing damage.

I ended up going to a Mercedes specialist in Bristol, who was able to source a second hand one for £150, so including fitting cost me £300

There are ones advertised on eBay.
