Looking around I've seen a program called VDASH. Would that be able to unlock this feature?

The trip computer requires a software update from a Volvo dealer and possibly a new indicator stalk depending on what version is fitted to your car. Cost ranges between £180 and £380 depending on reported car versions from various dealers over the years. Frankly, not really worth it IMO.
VDASH says it can do a number of things including the trip computer but I don't know of anyone or any post intimating anyone has done it that way. You'll need the correct indicator stalk. It will need to have the Read, reset and scroll wheel functions.
The mpg will likely be way below what you hope for anyway. Our 1.6D DRIVe gets between 40 and 50 mpg depending on journey type. Not exactly epic.
