You won't get any trouble for a swapped module beyond what I mentioned above, where the module is a different 'type' of sorts that makes it incompatible with the car in some way, not that it doesn't work but that Volvos central system doesn't consider it the correct "compatible" module, which would only be a problem when you go to order a "Total Upgrade" and you get an error about incompatible module. It's an uknown situation though, I've only seen this where the module doesn't match the config, and due to blocking risk, can't play around with the VIDA system as much to see what is what ;-) Is there a config item for which type of front cam? Or a config item for windshield vs grille mounted front radar?
Most modules don't need any registration to the car. Critical/security related ones do, CEM/ECM/BCM/VCM/TCAM/VDDM those are the ones off the top of my head, where there is immobilization data, security or registration with other ECUs. WAM probably doesn't fall into that.
I just added the "IMS" module to my car, the interior motion sensor for the security system. It just plugged in and worked, allows the config to be changed to enable "with motion sensor". With the car restored to OEM and connected to VIDA, the IMS shows up added to the hardware/software list in the readout. I'll check back since I am paranoid heh but the car was not blocked, I loaded software.
What are the part numbers of the 2 different WAM modules?
