The immobiliser system is in the dash, with no dash the engine ECU thinks your key is invalid so it allows the engine to start but then stops it immediately.

 

So nothing is wrong, just replace the dash and all should be OK.

@Kevinpacker - Frankly, nothing is "wrong", except that the dashboard appears to lacking power, and hence not acknowledging your key as valid. I think you need a traveling auto electrician with VAG knowledge.
