Default changing instrument cluster

Hi guys.

Another surprise when i bought my A8 was how incredibly quickly it accelerated to 100mph - then the realisation that the speedo was in kph not mph.

I didnt realise they used KPH in ROI. The car was bought in NI, but was used mostly in ROI so was ordered with the metric instruments apparently.

Would a new cluster be plug and play or does it involve huge amounts of reprogramming that is beyond my simple brain?
