Default New to this - VDASH & Dice for 2016 S60 2.0L petrol

Hello all, I'm pretty new to this VDASH world but really wanna diagnose and do maintenance my self. I have a 2016 S60 2.0l petrol, T4. I would like to know will I be able to use this model DICE compatible:
DICE VDASH diagnostic for use with my car and the VDASH software?

What are some things I can do with VDASH, other than diagnosing issue? can it change car performance? can it unlock some capabilities?
Is there anything I need to know before making a purchase?

thanks for any help.

That is just a unit to connect to the car, it has no capabilities other than being a cable. It is used to connect a laptop to the car. The laptop would need to have the programs and after 2014 model year you need a paid volvo subscription to use VIDA. VDASH has a free and a paid option, I haven't used it but here is the site: https://d5t5.com/article/vdash-volvo-diagnostic

Also, that dice unit is a Chinese knockoff, I would do my research on quality from that seller before buying. It does say in the ebay description that is does work though
