Okay, so you're trying to use the factory head unit and add an amp and sub to it and have the amp power on with the stereo. The OEM system doesn't use an individual wire to turn the amp on like other systems, it is all run through the computer to control the amp and volume and all the rest. There are add on boxes that can take the control signal from the OEM computer and turn on the power to the remote amp but they are vehicle specific because the signal that VW uses won't be the same as the one BMW uses or Ford. The trick is to find the correct one.
If yours has the USB interface there might be a way to use that if it uses a way to power or charge the unit plugged into it, that information isn't in the service information but a call to VW's assistance line might get you an answer.
