As far as I know S60 & V70 units are interchangable, but mine is the 2002 version which is a bit earlier than yours. If you get some form of warranty from the breakers yard, then at least you have time to fit it & check it works for a few weeks.

I was lucky in that 2 came along on ebay with a few weeks, the first was used & then a new one came along & I got it for a bit less. Try calling round a few of the breakers who advertise on ebay - you should be able to get one for a fair price.

When mine failed, the alarm / central locking would automatically unset, so it mean't it would randomly unlock while parked! As a temp fix, I downloaded the wiring diagram & worked out which 2 wires from the unit were the switch & then shorted them together with a Scotchlok on the loom inside the door trim. This did the trick until I fitted the replacement unit.
