Yeah, you're trying to use a K-Line device on a CAN bus car. Read the limitations on this page: http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds-lite/index.html

It says "Won't work with CAN-Bus vehicles". A 2006 Jetta is a CAN bus car. You will need the full version of VCDS with either a Micro-CAN or HEX+CAN interface cable. Sorry.

Have Fun!
