It is the later replacement revision for the earlier 4D0-971-636-D housing. The Q5 application below uses this connector at the original dashboard switch connection associated with factory thermo-cupholder equipment. Other confirmed profiles use the same assigned housing in their original harness connections, including specified tail-lamp circuits; they do not share the Q5 cupholder function.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical details and what is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory part number: 8W0-971-636-D \/ 8W0971636D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarlier verified revision: 4D0-971-636-D \/ 4D0971636D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHousing layout: six contact positions; blue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity supplied: one individual bare housing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerminals, repair wires, connected switch and cupholder assembly are separately specified.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatch the original housing revision, terminal system and mating profile before ordering.
