I fitted a second hand HU-850 radio/CD player on my 2005 XC70 replacing the failed unit for an HU-850 out of a 2005 V70, and thankfully it has worked. It has also cured a series of yellow warning about the parking sensors, which now work again.
If you try and get the same year of manufacture it improves your chances of getting it to work. I got my replacement on e-bay from Howkins motor spares in Leicester for £95, which compared well with an after market unit at £399, or repairing my original unit for £220.80 from Central Services in Essex. Quite chuffed with myself :-)
