You can buy a new IC S93c66 and write directly with image and solder it to new ' 17 display cluster too.
You can't usually directly swap EEPROM images from the old cluster to the new ones, they use different sized EEPROM, although the additional space is simple padded with ones (so that's simple to correct). The tricky part is that on european 2017+ clusters if you burn the pre-restyle image on it the mileage unit will be changed to miles without converting the number itself, e.g. if you had 43000km it will show 43000mi.
You need to dump the image of the new cluster and edit the mileage, it's in the first row, encoded like many other Denso units (*cough cough* XOR). That way you won't end with wrong mileage and Fahrenheit degrees instead of km and °C.
Personally I used an old LPT programmer:


By the way, since I don't like to throw away money in custom taxes, I made my own joystick:
