You need the skc (pin) for your ecu, then you can adapt the new cluster to the car. http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Immobilizer_III_Immobilizer_Swapping_(Instrument_Cluster)

Immobilizer 3.

If both clusters are the same year you can simply use vag k+commander to write the old eeprom into the new one.

It's very easy to use, and contained in the "B5 S4 cluster bench flashing sticky" in the cluster and immobilizer section. Just make sure to select k-line under connection, and you're good to go.

And you will probably need to select 'run as administrator' when you open commander.
