instrument cluster stores VIN and current mileage, and should be swapped over.. if mileage mismatch, as far as i remember there's certain circumstances it'll show a tamper light, others it'll rewrite the mileage (could vary per model year etc.. though i think the dash can be almost, or 100% coded as desired, VIN overwritten etc..)
if swap dash with DME and CAS, then no issues, it all matches.
CAS stores the immobilisation code for the ECU and is needed for it to be started
I can't remember any others that store VIN or anything, just need calibration/synch., part numbers for things like ABS sensors are identical.
