Just gave dad our 2006 S60 SE Lux and it's fine except for the stereo having developed the popping sound rather than actually working.

I don't want to send the HU off for repair, I'd much prefer to buy a working HU-850 and replace it for him.

Are the HU-850s coded in any way or would I be OK to buy one off eBay and just swap it out (while battery is disconnected)?

I have the necessary tools to clear any SRS codes that come up as a result of the swap but that's about it.
