OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi 8W0-972-575 is an individual black two-position flat-contact housing with a locking mechanism. The confirmed applications below list it in the original windshield camera-area trim and electrical connector assembly. It renews the separately assigned connector body at the matching factory connection.
Technical details and what is included
- Factory part number: 8W0-972-575 / 8W0972575.
- Connector layout: two contact positions; black.
- Flat-contact housing with locking mechanism.
- Quantity supplied: one individual bare housing.
- Contacts, repair wires, camera-area trim and connected electrical components are separately specified.
The catalogued camera-area location does not make this a complete camera connector kit or a replacement camera. Identify the exact original connector and mating terminal system before ordering. Pin count alone does not establish compatibility with another two-position housing.
Common reasons to replace
- The original housing body is cracked or broken.
- A damaged locking feature prevents correct attachment.
- A damaged contact-retention location prevents proper terminal seating.
- The housing is damaged during a diagnosed wiring or camera-area component repair.
Inspect the contacts, wire ends and connected component independently. A new housing does not repair damaged conductors or correct an internal camera or other module fault. Diagnose the actual electrical connection and separately damaged components using the factory repair information.

Installation and service guidance
Follow the factory electrical isolation, access and connector-repair procedure for the affected circuit. Record original terminal positions and connector orientation before release. Use the prescribed terminal tool and avoid pulling locked contacts by their wires.
Fit only the specified terminal system, renewing repair wires or contacts when required. Seat the contacts fully and verify the housing lock engages at its matching original connection. Restore the factory wiring route without strain, then complete the prescribed circuit checks. If camera-related components are separately disturbed during access, follow the factory requirements for their reassembly and any required system verification.
