Default V70 immobilizer location

Does anyone know where the immobilizer box on a 1999 V70 GLT is located? Also, what does it look like? I had the stalling upon start issue and the key flip worked for awhile, but the failure began happening more often so I tried all three keys with the samme result. Based on what I read here, I replaced the antenna ring tonight and it did not have any issue after several trips and multiple starts. I am a bit pessimistic on this one as it was intermittent so if that does not do it, then the immobilizer it is. Yep, I know, new keys and a trip to the dealership for programming. Thanks in advance

Default Update on immobilizer issue

So far so good! It's been almost two weeks and the car has been starting every time since I replaced the antenna ring. The problem seemed worse when it was cold and wet - so the real test has been the past few days here in MI. I am keeping my fingers crossed. This site really helped out solving the issue and keeping cash in my pocket. The antenna ring was $46 shipped and the install was quick and painless. I popped the top of the steering shroud and then removed the lower shroud screws (3). The ring just unplugged and slid off.

Kennyrocker,
I have not had a problem since I replaced the ring. I hope that is all that is wrong with your car! Let me know how you fare.

Dave,
I just replaced mine, it starts right away. no hesitation with both of my keys. I think I got it fixed. Cost 65 bugs to get the antena ring from volvo. I heard that ring is meant to be fail. I hope they last tho. Cheers!
