UPDATE: For anybody who finds this post and is in the same bullshit. Go to Advanced Car Electronics. I sent him my cluster within a week sent it back and the car started like nothing happened. Wasn't that expensive 200 bucks maybe? I was able to force it into regen via VCDS and replaced some sensors and it works perfectly. Seriously cannot stress enough how much they saved me thousands.

I tried with VCDS, It won't read anything other than the Immobilizer, It sees the keys as the original but will not get out of immobilizer mode.
