SplitView remote & headphone part numbers?

Just bought a SplitView equipped 2015 S550, but it didn't come with the remote control handset or the wireless headphones. So I'm trying to source some eBay replacements.

I also understand that a MB dealer needs to "pair" the remote to the car? hope the dealer that sold the car to me will do that for me...

Any SplitView folks out there who can tell me what the part numbers are for the remote control and headset?
And are those different parts from the remote and headset for the rear seat entertainment package? I want to make sure I get the correct items.

Here's what I've found so far, which are correct for W222, but not sure if these are correct for the front seat SplitView:
Remote: 222-820-60-89
Headphone: 222-820-18-89-03
(but I'm also seeing 222-820-38-89 for the headphone?)

Speaking of SplitView, some on here have said you lose some of the brightness and sharpness on the LED panel. Do you have an opinion on this?

Looks great to me, but I don't have a side by side with the non-SplitView. I also have seen some threads say that the SplitView screen is more resistant to glare. But overall I certainly haven't noticed any lack of sharpness in my day-to-day experience (but I don't really use MB nav much). If I can find a remote and headphones, then I'll see how it looks for DVD playback (only 480p!). :-)

The VIN would be useful but you may check the correct part from the attached list. Check which parts have the option codes that match your car.

I had the splitview in the Maybach. The remote was storred in a slot at the TOP of the glove box. Did you look there for it?

Yep, that slot is empty.

Interesting! The SplitView option is 867, so it looks like the remote is the same for that as for the rear seats? The remotes appear to have labels on the front identifying them as "L Rear" or "R Rear" or "Comand", but I guess those don't matter (I'm assuming the assignments are handled in the "pairing"? in any event, no back seat entertainment in mine).

But how to read that "CO DRIVER" designation? That one also seems to match the 867 option? Oof, might get pricey if I have to engage in trial and error on eBay... (tho likely not the ~$1000 that my dealer wants for the remote and headphones new!).

Pairing is only for the physical part. You then select from the remote switch if it works for comand, split view, rear left or rear right. I'm not sure but some remotes may not have all the four options. Headsets too have a switch to select split view, rear left or rear right.

$1000 sounds very high, I cannot remember how much I've paid for the remote and 2 headsets but I'm sure nothing like $1000.

Ah, I hadn't realized that there is a switch on both the remote and headset to select seating position. Thanks!

Can anyone confirm that a second-hand remote and/or headphones can be programmed to work with any W222? The M-B service techs at my dealer say they've never done this, so they are not sure that it's possible to pair a remote or headset after it's already been paired to a different car. I'm guessing they are thinking about the key fobs here, which are "married for life". But that seems unlikely for the remote handset and headphones, no?

Pairing only means coding the UID address of each device to the head unit (or rear entertainment unit). The UID code is printed on the remote and the headset devices (remove battery cover to find it).

I've done this pairing for a second hand remote to my car.
