Why would you change the lock cylinders because of a bad CLU?
All you need is the CLU, DME, the transponder pill out of the new key head and the transmitter, if it works (just swap your old blade into the new head or swap the new transponder and circuit board into your old key and head).
Also (FYI), the replacement CLU's stored VIN won't match your car.
It's a lot easier to just pull your old EEPROM file (or entire chip) from the old CLU and install it onto the new one. Then the CLU will match the existing DME, key transponder and transmitter, and VINs will match.
