Select jQuery autocomplete value by its id

I have 2 text box with jquery autocomplete. My requirement is

If i select Text Box 1 label or value aa and its id is 1, then in Text Box 2 label or value which contain id as 1 that is (aa1) should be selected.

I don't want to copy value or match value in Text Box 1 to Text Box 2 or vice versa.

And also i want to know how to select autocomplete value by passing its id?

Example :

If i select bb (id=2) in Text Box 1 then bb1 (id=2) in text Box 2 should be selected.

If i select cab1 (id=5) in Text Box 2 then cab (id=5) in text Box 1 should be selected.

 $("#txt1").autocomplete({
                source: arraytxt1,
                minLength: 1,
                select: function(event, ui) {
                     var matching_right_side_option;
                    $.each(arraytxt2, function(index){
                        if(this.id === ui.item.id) 
                        {
                            matching_right_side_option = this;
                        }    

                    }); 
                 $("#txt2").val(matching_right_side_option.label);
                }
            });

To select autocomplete value by its id you will have to use value instead of label:

For eg:

        $("#txt2").autocomplete({
            source: arraytxt2,
            minLength: 1,
            select: function(event, ui) {
              $("#txt1").val(ui.item.value);  //selecting by its id(value)
            }
        });
