You are gonna have to take it to the dealer for the 220 vehicles. The ESM
(Electronic Selector Module) on 220 is part of the "anti-theft" system and is
"married" to the vehicle. The dealer needs to use the SDS to "unlock" the ESM
and marry it to the vehicle. If it was another chasssis (for example a 210) you would not have this problem. Good luck.

You should probably bring in the old part as well when you go. I'm a little hazy on this, but it may be one of the modules you need to copy the version coding from one and then "download" that information into the new one.
