That's why it's advisable that you always keep the original hardware.I learned this the hard way when I had swap my iDrive controller with the ceramic version from a 7 series.
Since you did indeed save the original cluster, just reinstall it and take it back to them to complete the update. After you reinstalled the original cluster, it's going to display some errors, including a red dot called a "tamper code" since the LCI cluster mapping was saved. You can ignore that, it doesn't need to be recoded for the update.
Afterwards, when the software is updated, you can then replace it back with the LCI cluster and then recode it.

Kinda off topic but can you post a pic of how the ceramic iDrive controller looks in your car? I was thinking about doing it too lol... |
After I had the dealer reprogram my car to erase the
variant error, due to the ceramic controller, I left the new, stock controller they installed and resold my ceramic controller.
I actually made back slightly profit, than what I originally paid for my ceramic controller..
:
For the record, the ceramic controller worked 100% efficiently, with the exception of the coding error, highlighted below, due to mismatch equipment, that's not properly coded.
He's a couple of random photos of the ceramic controller, retrofitted, in action:
