Villeroy & Boch 499504 electronic control unit for hydromassage shower cabin
Villeroy & Boch 499504 is an electronic control set for an older multifunction or hydromassage shower cabin. The set consists of an oval control panel with a digital display and five buttons, an electronic control circuit board and the corresponding connection cables.
The electronic assembly controls the shower-cabin functions according to the particular cabin version and its installed equipment. An online spare-parts catalogue describes part 499504 as an electronic control system for a version equipped with radio and lighting or chromotherapy.
The specialist Italian supplier lists this spare part in its electronic-component category for Vitaviva, Villeroy & Boch, Itema and Ariston. The same or a related electronic system may have been used in shower cabins sold under different brand names.
This is an older and difficult-to-source spare part. The supplied components are shown in the product photographs.

Important information about the IT1600 and IT1602 designations
The online supplier describes part 499504 as an IT1602 electronic control system. However, the supplied electronic components are clearly marked IT1600 and IT1600_2.
IT1602 is therefore information taken from the online catalogue and is not a marking visible on the supplied circuit board. The spare-part number 499504, product photographs and markings printed directly on the electronic components must be given priority when checking compatibility.
Compatibility check
Before ordering, compare:
- spare-part number 499504,
- marking R8055500,
- markings IT1600 and IT1600_2,
- circuit-board markings MTB-12864J and PB-12864J ES01,
- the shape and dimensions of the oval control panel,
- the display position and five-button layout,
- the number, shape and arrangement of the electrical connectors,
- the connection cables and complete wiring.
Listing this item under Vitaviva, Villeroy & Boch, Itema and Ariston does not mean that it is compatible with every shower-cabin model sold by these brands. Compatibility must be checked using the markings, connectors and product photographs.
Installation notice
The electronic control unit must be connected and tested by a suitably qualified technician. The wiring diagram, power supply, connector arrangement and compatibility of all connected components must be checked before installation.
Incorrect connection may damage the control unit or other electrical components of the shower cabin. Electronic components normally cannot be returned after connection or attempted installation.
