Volvo Cars app

Yeap, until the car is not blocked in VIDA. Now VIDA blocks the car after changing the software yourself. Once blocked, you will not be able to change modules that have been broken, e.g., VCM and activate them. It's easy to imagine, that if Volvo knows, thanks to Volvo Cars App, that You make changes in the car without authorisation, can block the car in vida system.
For now, it's just a theory, but I wanted to find out if it's even possible in the future.

It's not the Volvo app you need to worry about, it's the IHU / VCM... they don't need to app to pull this data - it's available to them straight from the car. If you download an app on the IHU for example, it pings the servers your current config. 

Honestly, they don't care enough on this stuff to do any more.
Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. I'm asking because one of the car mechanics told me that, theoretically, Volvo could block the car in the future in the event of unauthorized changes, just as it does now through Vida. Of course, this is just an unlikely theory and blocks the car only in Vida, but it's worth knowing.
