you can do it 2 ways

1 buy a vw canbus adapter like this

or
2 run a cable from the back of the cigarette lighter or the fusebox

are you testing the voltage with the key in the ignition as one will stay live until the key is removed

which canbus adapter have you bought as it may be faulty as it must have an ignition connection
