I pulled the alarm fuse in our 2005 facelift V70 (fuse in awkward place above driver's footwell) as I thought the module may be draining the battery. It does nothing except not activate the siren - central locking works and the flashing light on the dash showing the alarm is armed works as usual. Yes you do get the alarm service required message but you can just turn that off while driving.

Had the car 4 years now with that alarm message. Had no problems with it affecting any other systems or disabling the engine etc. I habitually switch the message off before I drive away. As I do the clutch sensor (cruse control) which causes the engine fault.
