Default Replacing C70 radio

Hi all.
I have a 2009 C70 and the AM on the radio crapped out. The dealer wants $995 to repair/replace. This seems a big steep just to get AM back. There are used take offs on eBay for around $200 and I'm comfortable doing it myself.

Questions: does anyone have a link to either a manual or video showing the process?
How about a compatibility list for radio/ cd units?
Perhaps a part number?
My car has just the aux audio input, could I easily modify to the USB?
How much of a deal to get the security code for the radio?

Specifics:
2009 C70
6 disc CD changer
Factory XM
Aux audio input (mini jack, not the USB)

Thanks in advance.

you would still need to take the car to the dealership for the software reload though

What does the software reload entail?

whenever you replace a module on the main network you need to reload the software into it for it to work properly. the dealers are the only place that can do it.
