Default I wouldn't recommend it....Lots of systems are different

from year to year. You might be buying a paperweight (at least for your car).

Default First off Its an A box for an Automatic. (AA)

Yours is a manual.
The K box is 11 generations or programming and circutry behind your box.
Now I think you can answer your own question.

Default I think AA boxes are cross compatible with most 2001 and up (immobilizer)

Don't think pre-immobilzer and immobilizer cars can share boxes. Cars with the immobilizer will need the codes from the original box cloned by the tuner.

It usually comes just as a silver metal box containing the board, and nothing else.

If you're looking to "fool" the dealer, then the part number series had better match. Even then....
