I know it's possible to do it on a FL D2, as when I bought the replacement one for mine, I had intended to do the swap myself, until I realised I couldn't get the relevant codes from the original cluster. All I did was plug in the replacement, switch the ignition on, and use VCDS. Since I knew it wouldn't start with the replacement cluster, I didn't even try. Once I confirmed that everything seemed fine, I put the original one back in, and it started first time.
