Well, I can both confirm and correct a few things, and figured I should update this and my own threads:
I made all these over a month ago, but just didn't get around to updating.
The input VW connector 4F0972112 does not come with the pins when ordered as a part through VW. I'm glad I didn't order a second connector for backup pins.
The correct pins can be acquired via TE Connectivity and are either TE 5-963716-2 or TE 5-965908-1. I was considering trying to make (and sell) these harnesses for others, but at my hobbyist skill level, it was a bit of a PITA and the potential payback not really worth using my limited free time. I can confirm that the IWISS SN-28B crimpers I mentioned above work well with those pins.
Prep - using TE Connectivity Pins 5-963716-2 After shielding and cloth tape.
In the end, I didn't go the DB25 route, as if I do go subwoofer, I'll need those superfluous RCA outputs from the VX800/8i to send a DSP sub output to the sub amp. Also, having already bought the RCA parts, it didn't make sense to scrap those.
Hope this helps others.

Reason: typo on part number
It looks like exactly what I need, I've just installed a Mosconi d2 80.6 DSP with the OEM DU on a 2015 991 GTS, and I have a lot of static noise from the engine and in general.
Can you please share the details info about what you built there so I can also build one?
So had a tip off to go looking for hands free kits to rob for parts, and ended up pulling that thread until I found that. Took a punt and ordered it, and it fit nicely once the thin fins that ID different versions we're trimmed out (not the 4 lugs that seat it, but keys inside).
Ah so the mosconi line inputs and other amps I've seen people complaining about at line level range of gain lack the differential input, so I built this:
Am aware of your work, you're on my honourable mentions list of builds I studied.
Not setup my EQ yet with the umik-1 and rew, but already it's sounding great with just the amp and time alignment.

Thanks!
You need a pair of Neutrik NTE1 1:1 transformers, they're used in pro audio for balanced to unbalanced conversion. I used yellow-white on the HU side, and red-black on the amp side just it made some logic based on normal colour codes.
Careful when making them, they're quite delicate where the leads go into the coils.
They'll kill all that noise on the Mosconi inputs though.
