I'm afraid not, no.

I just searched the factory repair manual as I'm unfamiliar with the D2, but it did confirm that from Feb 1999 the A8 has a Gen 3 Immobiliser which is within the dash panel.

You see the engine ECU, dash panel / immobiliser and keys are all paired together. Once one is removed it will not work in another car unless it's been adapted.

I've attached a print out from the WSM and do read the below link and watch the video's as the end.
