I will update on the final outcome in case it will be helpful to others in the future.
Well done on finding the root cause (water ingress in AUU)

You have another option:
Get a donor AUU of identical part number, and swap the Flash Memory from your AUU to donor AUU. Assuming your flash memory chip is unaffected by corrosion!. Thus the donor will receive the same serial number as the serial number is stored in flash memory, and the car will think it is the same device, and everything will happily work again.

If you have no surface mount soldering skills, contact someone who has and will be willing to help you, such as https://volvodiagnostic.com/shop/index.php
