The system was described to me as like a daisy chain. If you start removing parts of the daisy chain then the system will end up not being able to send the new rolling codes back and forth from the key to ECU via the immobiliser consistently accurately.

I believe the instrument cluster is a fairly important component in the daisy chain.

My advice would be to get in touch with Adam Ergen (google Ergen Motorsports). He will be able to modify your ECU so that you can remove all the unwanted parts of your donor loom and still retain the original level of security plus 100% reliability in starting.

He is not cheap but my experience was that his work was worth every single penny.

Hope this helps.
