Instrument cluster swapout help

[JudgeM]

I asked the seller of the meter to explain more about this "coding" he talks about. Here is what he said:

"I mean it will still have all it's old cars information in it so when you put it in your car all kinds of faults can show up, all I think it needs done is to be immobilised and made compatible with your car"

So how does one immobilise the meter

He has absolutely no clue. The only vehicle specific data on the cluster is the odometer reading and even that is really not vehicle specific as it will show the same value if you move it to a different car.
