For most everything that is "changing" the car, VIDA is not an option. There are a very few things you can have in the "official" way that you could also do via OrBit, such as change the tire size, or install heated steering wheel as an accessory for examples. Doing through VIDA would make the changes to the car such that is updated andt proper with Volvo.
For everything else...there is OrBit ;-)
In general coding and personalization is not something Volvo is interested in doing as a service function, and many of the things we do are OK for us, but not for Volvo to do, as the settings may exist due to regulations. Adaptive beams in the US, not defaulting to rear view cam with the 360 cam in the US, Stop/Start setting "memory" outside the US...just 3 examples of factory configurations used to meet local regulations in specific markets. That's just one aspect but there are many more reasons why there is not something "official".
