Sean are you sure about the ETKA illustration?
That gives a part number of 443 927 351 B which it describes as "Control Unit for Gearshift Lock". Isn't that the thing that stops you moving the gearstick unless you put your foot on the brake?
And what A8Parts are selling is "Audi A8 D2 Shift Lock Control Relay 443927351B" which isn't exactly clear either. Or did this all change between PF and FL and it's the same relay doing a different job?

Didn't MJ say earlier something about it not being where it was documented? Yes:
