First, let's clarify what is IMS reload and IMS remove. They are not actual software loaded on the IMS module. They are just configuration changes just like Orbit does. There is only one difference that purchasing IMS reload makes the configuration oficial by updating VOLVO database for your VIN number and IMS sensor = with becomes OEM config in Orbit.
Ones the VIDA scans the car with the IMS retrofit, the HW changes becomes permanent because updates the VOLVO servers. I had VIDA subscription for 3 days and I did not know this. I disconnected the IMS and rescan the car with VIDA. HW changes were still there ( Remove IMS and reload IMS).
I waited until the third and last day of the subscription, rescan the car and there was no change. I had to purchase IMS remove while IMS is still being disconnected before being able to run total upgrade. I purchased IMS remove for $40 USD because IMS reload was $250 USD.
After total upgrade and VIDA disconnected, I reconnected the IMS module, and I used the Orbit to enable it. Everything works again.
