Head Unit Ceramic Swap and FSC Code

May be a silly question, but I want to replace my HU for another one but with ceramic knobs I found online.
What do I need in terms of FSC codes and activation? And how can it be obtained? It's the same model unit, just with different knobs.

If I recall you can just change the knob and still use the original head unit

No, I've looked into this. The knobs don't pull out, and will break if you try to. There are threads out there, and it entails breaking the entire unit apart.
Too much hassle IMO.

Are you sure about that? I too was under the impression that it is just a matter of replacing the knob.
