Are these parts interchangeable?

Hi

I need a door latch 2K Blazer LT and I'm wondering if these parts are interchangeable.

The much cheaper part

GM part 15066140

Application notes:

ELECTRIC SIDE DOOR LOCK(AU3) EXCEPT REMOTE ENTRY LK CONT(AU0), REMOTE ENTRY LOCK CONTROL(AU5), REMOTE ENTRY LK CONT(AU8) INCLS ACTUATOR, DOME LAMP, AJAR SWITCH

What my VIN says I need:

GM part 15066142

Application notes:

REMOTE ENTRY LK CONT(AU0), REMOTE ENTRY LK CONT(AU8) EXCEPT RIGHT HAND DRIVE(RHD) W/ACTUATOR

I don't even use remote entry. Could I get away with the cheaper part with a loss of remote entry functionality?

Thanks for reading

Update:

I don't care about Passlock either. Unless it caused my SUV to not start.

    They are not interchangeable. 

    Physically, the cheaper one would work, but your vehicle has the 'Passlock' factory security system, and needs the correct lock connected properly, to work properly.
