Default ECU Code help?

I have an 2001 A3 (8L) and I need a new ECU. The number on mine is 06A 906 032 S, however I can't find the same number for sale anywhere. Instead I find a bunch with the same "06A 906 032" but different ending letters. Can anyone tell me if I can buy any of those and recode it?

06A 906 032 GD
06A 906 032 MD
06A 906 032 BQ
06A 906 032 FP
06A 906 032 LQ
06A 906 032 GF
06A 906 032 NL
06A 906 032 NA
06A 906 032 HF
06A 906 032 PL
06A 906 032 MC
06A 906 032 PE
06A 906 032 SM

TIA!!<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/18t/msgs/5763.phtml">Link to original thread</a></li></ul>

Wrong forum and wrong country. We never saw the A3 in '01.

Default It's '01, and I know that, but the ECU's are similar.

Hoping someone around here would know.

Default Very true: This is a pro-weapons website; very American......

But Canadians are allowed to input their opinions as long as they know who's boss. And they do.

Ah ha, 032-S was replaced in 2003 by 06A-997-032-EX. I show that as the only good number for APP.

Default Yes, dealer has to program the immobilizer and only an authorized dealership

is allowed to order and sell these parts.

I have access to VW/Seat/Skoda/Audi parts for all the countries in the world.

No US dealership can look up your parts.
