W222 S Class with Panoramic roof, Distronic plus, Fridge, Towbar and TV!

I don't know if the W221 Fridge will fit in the W222, but some owners in the UK and Germany stated they have retrofitted the W222 fridge in their W221s - but I did not see how they did it.

Do you still have any pdf's showing the installation of the wiring connections or the complete install by any chance Nuru? I have access to WIS, but it's a little hit and miss as it is on a virtual machine and crashes a lot!
Just to resurrect this thread, I have just bought a 2016 S Class W222 and am in the process of retro-fitting the fride into the load compartment. I do not have the ski bag option so need to buy the tunnel liner and rear trim piece for the trunk along with the door and wiring loom. I have also retro-fitted an aftermarket carplay system that looks pretty much stock...
Some have asked if the W221 fridge can be used, I would say not as the "neck" part of the fridge, the part that passes through the rear seats, is a lot shorter on the W221 unit. The W222 one is longer to allow for cars that have the reclining rear seats as these sit further back in the trunk.
I have the fridge in my W221 which is now sat outside after being accident damaged in early June... None of the parts appear to be interchangeable
I can post more photos if people would like? I am also retrofitting the electric towbar option (trailer hitch) which does use a couple of parts from the W221. (I have that option on my 221 and have removed parts that I can reuse)
This is the view in the trunk behind the seats. I have already fitted the support frame for the fridge ready for the rest of the parts to arrive this week to my MB dealer here in the UK

You need the fuse carrier and insert the fuse carrier end of it into slot 139 of the rear SAM in the W221, Please review my original thread, that should provide a lot of info about the retrofit I completed for my W221. . https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w...rigerator.html

Hello Barry, thanks for the post and great job!
I'm also attempting the fridge retrofit. I have the fridge and was able to source all the supporting parts. However, I'm having trouble finding the "support frame," the piece shown in your photo of the trunk and where the two knob-screws in the fridge screw into. I know it's almost a year since, but if possible, would you be able to get me its part number?

Thanks a ton for any info,
Hi... The part number for the support frame is: A222 640 00 00
Then you will need 4 of the spring nuts (That the plastic door and frame screw into) The part number for those is: A003 994 85 45
The part number for the cage nuts (that take the fridge securing screws) is A001 990 45 56 and you'll need two of those
So i purchased the fridge off eBay for $650 including shipping (it was a best offer and the guy was only a state away) a few weeks ago. Prior to that, I'd seen a lot of sales for the fridge that had both part numbers A222-820-02-06 and A222-820-00-06 listed and i assumed they were interchangeable. MBs IPBs (illustrated parts breakdown) didn't help either, as the image for both was identical. Come to find out the -02-06 has a shorter neck than the -00-06 and my cars setup calls for the -02-06. I bought the -00-06, as it was the cheapest almost new condition i could find.
Just by looking at it, it seemed like you could modify one to be the other and that was indeed the case. Just last night i made my A222-820-00-06 into a A222-820-02-06. It wasn't too bad, but i've taken apart many-a gadgets and there were things to definitely look out for. With a permanent pen, i still need to cross off 0006 and put 0206 on the ID tag. FYI, you can go the other way too.
If anyone comes across this issue, let me know, i can provide a step-by-step.

Amazing work, you're doing great things for the community here!
CKM did a video below but mine looks different.. His also has an extra bracket that Mercteil did not sell to me, they said the kit above is everything (he has 4 seater S class, mine is 5 seater with warmth and comfort)

Hi Gentlemen's
I'm in the process of retro fitting a ski bag option into my my trunk any one can help with the oem number for this bracket . Thanks in advance. Barry Jones, I hope you don't mind that I have edit your photo.
[QUOTE=konigstiger;8488090]15 s550 4m correct? Try 22292074219051 (180 in diagram).
[/QUOTE}
Thanks for reply , unfortunately for me that that was wrong item , so for 180 I only got from local dealer a hatch nothing else . But I find my self that number as per below , already on order
Interesting to see how this thread has evolved. At the time the thread was created, I did not even have the W222. Now my retrofitted W222 fridge is on sale for anyone who is willing to collect it. Too difficult to send such a big item anywhere.
