You may indeed ask about installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11474 on your Volkswagen Jetta, and lowering exhaust means simply loosening some bolts so part of the exhaust hangs down. This will give you the needed space to slide the hitch into position to complete the install of the # C11474.
I have added a link below to a video install which shows how simple it is to lower the exhaust; that portion starts at about the 3:40 mark. view full answer...

On all of the available trailer hitches for the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta, the receiver and cross tubing will be fairly low. This is because of the attachment point placement on the VW frame. By design, the hitches have to be that low. On all the models, the top of the receiver tube will be just below the rear fascia.
We have several videos you can view (linked below) on the Draw-Tite, Valley, and Hidden Hitch models that show the hitches installed to give you a better idea of the kind of... view full answer...
The TireMinder A1AS TPMS for RVs and Trailers part # TM79FR uses Bluetooth so it does operate on a 2.4Ghz frequency as well. Therefore, there is a potential for interference. I spoke to TireMinder about this and they said to keep the monitors a few feet apart and there should be no issue but we do also carry systems which operate on a different frequency, the TireMinder i10 TPMS for RVs and Trailers part # TM56FR for example operates on a 433MHz frequency. view full answer...

There are adapters for different size skewers but none of them fit with a locking solution. view full answer...
Unfortunately you cannot wire the battery charger to battery of the Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with Built-In Battery Charger # 20400 as it will not keep the battery charged. You will need to wire the battery charger to the constant 12v wire coming from the trailer harness.

We do not recommend using the 12 volt power outlet in the trunk area for connection of a powered circuit protected wiring harness, like the Curt Hardwire Kit, # C59236, which includes the wiring to the battery. The purpose of the power wire is to eliminate the power draw on the vehicles electrical system and sensitive circuitry. Providing power directly from the vehicle battery is the only way to eliminate the draw on the vehicle electrical system.
If you use the 12 volt power outlet in... view full answer...

The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR5200S04 that you referenced will require a trailer frame area of at least 14-5/16" inches long and about 3" tall for proper mounting. I have attached a dimensional diagram below with this and other measurements labeled for the setup (just note that the spindle measurement isn't correct since this model features a 4" drop). When mounting to the frame it's extremely important to use all 3 bolt holes provided, so this full length is needed.... view full answer...

With any trunk-mount bike rack that uses hooks like the Thule Passage 2 # TH910XT, you cannot open the trunk with the carrier attached. This is because the hooks that install into the trunk can bend or even damage the trunk when trying to open it. In order to safely open your trunk, you need to completely remove the rack. Although, in order to remove the rack, this is a quick process that simply requires you to remove the hooks or bikes (if you have them mounted).

Yes, your 2006 Volkswagen Jetta manual transmission can be flat towed. I went ahead and verified with your owner's manual, and all of the "do not's" had to do with the automatic transmission models.
In light of this news, you are going to need a base plate kit, tow bars, a lighting harness, a braking system, and safety cables.
You did mention the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX3823, and good news it'll work great!
