VW / Audi 20-Pin Reverse Camera & Headlight Module Wire Harness Connector – Female OEM

This 20-pin female connector is used in Volkswagen and Audi reverse trajectory camera modules and adaptive headlight control module harnesses. The 20-pin configuration integrates video signal, CAN bus, power, and control circuits for the rear-view camera system and AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) headlight module. Available bare or with 15cm pre-wired leads.

Key Specifications

Why Camera & Headlight Module Connectors Fail

Reverse camera and headlight module connectors on VW and Audi platforms are exposed to vibration, thermal cycling, and moisture. Terminal oxidation or housing damage causes reverse camera signal loss, trajectory line display failures, AFS headlight faults, or U-code CAN bus communication errors with the camera or headlight module. Replacing the connector restores full module circuit integrity.

Variant Guide

• Female – Bare 20-pin housing with terminals
• Female 15CM – Pre-wired with 15cm leads for direct splice-in installation

Installation Steps

1. Disconnect the vehicle battery
2. Access the reverse camera module (typically in the tailgate or rear bumper) or headlight module
3. Release the locking tab and unplug the original 20-pin connector
4. Transfer terminals to the new housing or splice in the pre-wired variant
5. Reconnect and use VCDS or OBD11 to clear camera/headlight module fault codes

Frequently Asked Questions
