You mean the instrument cluster, right? As in the tach, speedo, etc...? If so, you can't just stick it in an S4 car. You'd have to re-pin the two plugs that run to the back of the cluster, which is about 15-20 wires. The S5 temperature gauge is also a piece of crap; the S4 one is actually linear and useful. The S5 one has 3 settings: cold, warm & rebuild.

If you are talking about the idiot gauge surround which I think you are then no the s5 one will not fit in an s4 unless you change the entire dash.

Then that's a different story entirely. You can use the S5 stereo surround on an S4, as long as you have the vents too. I have one in my car, and the rubberized plastic is MUCH better.
