The only thing is when they changed the VO for my friends F30, it gave them a gear selector error, so they made him change to the SAT lever. I don't want to change the lever, hence asking if by just changing the VO from the dealer end I can activate SAT.

Dealers cannot change official FA. They must order any FA Change from BMW AG, and BMW AG will create a new FA File for car, and send it to dealer to be loaded with ISTA/P and car programmed.
If you have a dealer that changed FA in friend's car to add 2TB SAT, they could only have used E-Sys to do so, in which case the dealer has gone rouge, and they are operating outside the bounds of dealership.
In any case, 2TB in FA may result in expectation of different hardware and hence cause error in ISTA/P. There is no reason though that you can't just add 2TB to FA, without writing FA to car, but load modified FA for Coding purpose and FA Code GWS for 2TB.
