The US one shows what gear position you're in (PRND) using red lights, while the EU just labels them. They have different connectors so I doubt it's easily doable.

Hey if you or anyone else is still interested in doing this I found this russian forum, I've found multiple helpful articles in there, you just need to translate what they say.
