Do you mean that you would like to swap the whole instrument panel to
add the Information System?

Swapping the panel is trivial - it's held in by a couple of screws
behind the pull-off panel above the steering column.

However, you will need access to a VAG-COM, or similar, and someone who
knows what they are doing, in order to set it all up.

Since many parts are standardized in Audi models you probably can
interchange it but you have to get the old one out and have a look first.
This guy http://www.meckisfaq.de/ has much information about these things
but not all, of course.

I've had a look at the parts catalogue, but it doesn't really show
whether the cabling is different between the FIS and non-FIS panels.

Does your car currently display information from the radio on the
instrument panel? If not, I would guess that that the radio to
instrument cabling won't be present. I would hope that everything else
will be there - the FIS needs fuel, speed, distance information and
those are already displayed on the other gauges.

I should also tell you that there are at least 30 different versions of
the instrument panel, for different models of the A4, depending on
engine, metric/imperial etc.
