  GM didn't have problems running 6V plugs(give or take)  in a 
12V system.  Just have to cycle them.  I recently noticed the 
7.3 non powerstroke does something similar.  Watching the volt 
meter, they come on for a time, then bounce on/off until you turn 
the key.
  I would think VW could do something like that.  Just a matter of 
if the present system can be programmed to cycle like that or if 
they'll have to plug in a whole 'nuther system.
