There is an aftermarket changer called the "Neo Changer" that has the factory connections for many different car makers including VW, thats the only thing i know that will work. I've done a few installations on them and its pretty easy.

Yeah, there should be a plug in the trunk of your passat that it hooks to, and once you get it set up and mounted your ready to go through the factory radio. The neo changers run about $250
