You might try the wanted section of renntech.org for a 220. Some of the local owners have replace the 220 with Traffic Pro when Crutchfield was selling them for $400. Don't know if they are keeping the old radios, but at least I know their 220s work. You could also try Becker for a refurbished unit.

Except for the frequency the 220 is the same as a 22, as 210 is the same as 21. The steps when it searches are spaced different so you cannot get all the stations. There is a 996 guy in the UK who bought a 220 off of US ebay because it was cheaper than buying a 22 in the UK. The radio works he just can't get all the stations.

There was also a 32 used on the Boxster that had a dot matrix display, but we did not have this in the US.
