You need the immobiliser codes for both dash pods, as the new one needs to be recoded with the codes of the old one. To overwrite the codes with yours you need the code for the new dash pod to. Without either you will not get far.

You need a laptop and a product called VAGtacho (ebay) and then you can install them no probs and sync the immobiliser and ECU without having to get any logon codes from the dealer.
