My pleasure,
If you have not touched, replaced or added TRM and IMS. They should not appear in the HW changes avoiding to perform total upgrade.
If your car is equipped with IMS (internal motion sensor), you should see a button on the center screen "reduced..." which disables the motion sensor (IMS). In the VIDA, you should see "Remove IMS" under the functional changes on demand. None of the items in the functional change blocks a total upgrade.
Same thing with the TRM. (Towing module). If you have not added or replace this module it should not appear in the HW changes.
However, I don't know if you buy the second hand or brand new, if it's second hand and if the previous owner retrofitted those modules it's a different story.
Regarding the seat controllers,
There are two different risks here.
1) If VIDA would reload them or not. You won't be able to know for certain until you actually purchase the reload software and try to install.
Yes, in theory; if the part number is listed as replacement part number for your car, it should install. Worse case, you purchase the reload for one side first $90 USD and try to install. If it does not install "This part does not fit your car", you can request a refund.
2) VIDA reloads the module (seat controller) but you might lose the seat extension functionality.
In this case, you can purchase Orbit and re-enable the seat extension and other nice stuff. But the downside is, you will need to revert those config changes (example: seat extension) before visiting the dealer or connecting the car to VIDA.
