BE ADVISED! VIDA detects any module replacement or addition!

[IMAY2023]

Let's say you have added motion sensor which is not an option in US market thus VIDA does not even show it as an accessory! However,,  if you leave the motion sensor connected while VIDA reads the car,  you will get to options in the hardware changes TAB. 
1) remove IMS  >  costs $35
2) IMS reload > costs $250 (Makes the movement sensors official although the IMS is not an option for USA VIN.)

Have you tried to purchase the $250 IMS reload? I was curious if lets you install. I also added an IMS module on my North American XC40 Recharge, but have yet to connect to VIDA. Are you required to “remove” before “reloading” a module?

Yes, it lets you purchase and install it.  It would be best just to disconnect it before read out from VIDA otherwise you will end up wasting $250 tor $50. 
If you do a readout without disconnecting it,  VIDA would show two options under HW changes. 
1) Reload IMS.  $250 Does not worth it. 
2) Remove IMS. $50 complete waste. (avoided by disconnecting the IMS before the FIRST VIDA readout)
Even if you disconnect the IMS, wait 24 hours then do a new VIDA readout, VIDA would still show "IMS remove" under HW changes TAB.
