Default A4 to A6

I have a question how different are the A4 to the A6 on computer?
I have an A4 Avant and I have replace the transmission with an A6 transmission. The transmission are the same outside, but inside they are different, and I was told in order to make it work I need to change the ECU. So, I bought the ECU, but I am not sure why the scanner can not read it. Are they really different?

I will appreciate any help.
