Immobiliser system replacement

Hi all.
If the only operational key I have stops working do I need to replace the the key and instrument cluster as a unit. I understand on the 2002 9n the immobiliser is integrated in the instrumentation cluster.
Does anyone have clarity on any other parts I'd need to replace?
Can I use a second ...

I have removed them from the board but can't seem to see a part number.
Does anyone have any info please as id like to ...
