I have retrofited power seat driver,  semi auto parking, harman kardon, fog lights, keyless entry, paddle shifters,  electric folding rear headrest.  And soon i want to retrofit full led headlights, and memory mirors...

Some of those modification can be turned into official and some are not detected at all. 
1) Semi Automatic parking.  > You can purchase it from VIDA for $90.  Don't know if CEM would detect the additional sensors with OEM settings and report to VIDA. 
2) Don't worry about FOG lights, paddle shifters.  Reverting to OEM covers it. (I have the same) 
3) If you got the HK from another 60 series, it should let you to reload for $90 or just disconnect it or put the old one back. 
4)  electric folding rear headrest  just revert it to original. they are not detected. 

Power seats: You are in the same situation as me. If your power seats came from 60 series, and the parts numbers matches to yours, you should be able to reload. But and there is always a but. It is indeed too risky.  Let's assume VIDA reloaded your new modules ($180) for each.  We cannot know if the software is the same and you might end up loosing some functionality of the seats even if you re enable them from Orbit.  Such as massage, side support, 4 way lumber and etc. 

To be clear, new HW does not block the CAR. On the contrary forces the owners to purchase reload before scanning and installing total upgrade.  
What you really should care about, not the make VOLVO block your car. by detecting configuration changes! Because if a module like BCM, ABS, ECM or CEM goes bad and you need to replace it, VIDA will not install any software on a blocked car. Service center would need to request the unlock from VOLVO corp. (Sweden)
