2001 V70 Replacing Driver Door

[skaupert]

Is there any part of the old door that needs to be transferred to the replacement door for the key and remote key to work?

(searched but couldn't find any information)

Thank you.

The easy way to address the (mechanical) lock-and key issue is to swap the entire lock and handle as one unit from the old to the new door.
If you take off the interior door panel, you can see the hardware from the inside of the door.

The door modules and exterior rear-view mirrors don't seem to mind being plugged into a different car, as I swapped a drivers door from a 4-door sedan to a v70 wagon with no trouble.

The remote actually communicates with the upper electronic module in the rear view mirror.
