If VIDA shows you those modules under HW changes TAB, this means the installed HW part numbers are different than the VOLVO DBs. Might be the previous owner replaced them? If not, the configuration test software might be able to clear those modules showing up in the HW change TAB.

Quote:I would like to clarify what it means to do a configuration test. I have the ability to download this ( 31493703 configuration test ). This service costs money. I thought it would be a free service. Was I wrong?

Configuration test software is used to cost $0.10 same as total upgrade. It was a cheap fee. I am not sure if VOLVO has increased the price.
The configuration test, reads all the module information and updates the VOLVO database and other modules installed on the car.

Quote:I also replaced the SWM module. I had a module without heating (32230871), I installed a module with heating. (32230872).
VIDA should have detected the change and show it under the HW changes TAB after you've replaced it.
It might be showing as SWM reload, heated steering wheel or both. Install the heated steering wheel one first it might update the SWM.
If none of those showing up, first install the configuration test and reread the car. It should clear up if the WAM and AUD and IMS modules are original to the car.

Then,
under functional changes look for the heated steering wheel reload. You can purchase and install it.

I bought the program through an intermediary, and I have to pay a much higher price than it actually costs. The upgrade costs -50 dollars, the configuration test also costs 50 dollars.
First, I want to reboot the new management modules. (WAM and AUD). And install updates.
I want to connect the SWM module to the video after these procedures, but I still haven't found any information where I can download the option to heat the steering wheel.
So far, I only see the possibility of restarting the SWM (but the update for the steering wheel will probably load without heating).
or should I also order a configuration test and replace the native seat and steering wheel modules with other modules?

For heated steering wheel.
The SWM replacement is required because your original SWM does not have the heated steering wheel wires.
Before replacing the SWM, check under functional changes TAB if you have the option "add heated steering" software. Don't order it yet if you see it.
First you will need to replace the SWM module.

Then you connect the VIDA to the car. VIDA might show you both SWM reload and heated steering or only the SWM reload under the HW changes TAB.
If you see both, first order and install the heated steering wheel. Because it might already include the SWM software in it. If that's the case after installation completes, SWM reload will disappear from the HW changes TAB after you refresh the page or perform a fresh readout. You are done!

I replaced my ABS module for installing Pilot Assist and ACC officially. After I replaced it, VIDA showed me two HW changes (BSM reload and Intelli safe PA and ACC). I ordered and installed Intelli Safe and not the BSM reload. After that, BSM reload was gone and I got my PA and ACC officially because it already included BSM, ABS software in it.

I also replaced my IHU with a newer one from a 2022 S60 (used). VIDA showed me two options under HW changes TAB. Market certificate and IHU reload. I installed market certificate because it was $100 cheaper than IHU reload. After that, IHU reload was gone and I could run total upgrade.

If you see only the SWM reload under the HW changes.
First, you will need to order and install it and then from the functional changes TAB you will need to order and install heated steering wheel.

Here are the download options I have. In the first image, I don't have the option to add a new swm module. In the second image, there is an option to reboot the SWM. (It's inactive because I'm not connected to the car right now). The possibility of heating, I have not found anywhere.

So, After you install your new SWM to the car and perform readout, Either heated steering wheel or reload SWM or both should show up under "Hardware changes" TAB.
If it's both, first install the heated steering wheel. It might already contain the SWM software in it.
If it's only showing SWM, you will need to install it and do a new redout. You should see heated steering wheel under the functional changes.

I managed to reload the modules AUD and WAW (installed used modules).
Then I was able to upload global upgrade ( Version 3.7). I was prompted with another option how can I cheat VIDA and replace my seat modules. I downloaded the global upgrade to my computer, started installing the update, and replaced the original modules with other (used) ones. But during the installation of the VIEW, I got an error, a module mismatch. I had to install the original modules back.
The global upgrade has been successfully installed.
Then I connected an unoriginal SWM module (used with heating). Vida discovered it and invited me to download the software.
1. Heated steering wheel
2. Reload SWM
3. Reload SAS
I chose - 1. Heated steering wheel. However, during the installation process, a message appeared that the SAS module could not be restarted. I tried to do this several times, but it was all unsuccessful. The service that specializes in Volvo said that the SAS module cannot be restarted if the module has already been used.
Now all I have to do is buy a new SWM module and reload.
I also have a desire to replace the seat modules. But I'm not sure if it will be possible to do this through a reboot of the configuration.

RE: Seat Retrofit -- New Module is throwing codes - IMAY2023 - 11-16-2025

SAS is the steering angle sensor module. If the replacement SWM module has the new SAS in it. You should be able to reload and calibrate it. There is a procedure for it under SAS then install the Heated steering wheel.
What service representative meant is that a used SAS from another vehicle can not be reprogrammed. Is your SWM used or not?

Quote: also have a desire to replace the seat modules. But I'm not sure if it will be possible to do this through a reboot of the configuration.

If the replacement seat controllers are from the exact model as your car, you should be able to replace and reload them from VIDA. Check the part number of the replacement units and verify if they are listed as replacement part for your VIN.

Let's say if it's not.
First while the original units are installed purchase the configuration test but do not install it yet.
Replace the seat controllers with the new ones while VIDA is connected and waiting to instal configuration test.
Then install the configuration test. This should update the VOLVO DB with new HW parts of the replacement seat controllers.
This method only for the seat controllers is reported to be working on many SPA models.
