2000 4.2A6Q Instrument cluster
OK, stealer wants $1200 plus to change out the instrument cluster. The pixels in the center are dim/out.
I can get it rebuilt at (link below) for $350.
How tough is it to remove/replace the cluster?
I understand the car cannot be driven because the immobilizer is in the cluster....do I need a VAG-COM tool to reinstall the cluster/immobilizer?<ul><li><a href="http://www.bba-reman.com/catalogue/DetailedProduct.aspx?DetailedProduct=282">http://www.bba-reman.com/catalogue/DetailedProduct.aspx?DetailedProduct=282</a</li></ul>

Sloop-been awhile since I've seen you 'round here. Here's the write-up, courtesy of
AudiSean. And yes, the Vag-Com is required as part of the process.
Hope all is well with you.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec106.shtml">DIY Instrument Cluster replacement</a></li></ul>

May not need the VAG-COM...
Since they are rebuilding your cluster, and not just using it as a core and sending you another unit. Their webpage states that the mileage won't be affected, so it should be plug and play.
