broken 620 monster clocks

Hi guys, i have recently purchased a 2003 m620ie. It was a non runner and did not come with the code card for the immobilizer. I do have the red key. The dash was cracked and had some moisture in them. I have managed to get the bike to run by removing the dash completely and when the dash is reconnected the bike will not start. I want to replace the dash with an aftermarket set as these are a lot cheaper than new ducati ones and will not need to be coded into the ecu. has anyone else replaced their dash? Any helpful hints?
