You need an oil pan heater (I have one) but I can't find one online.  VW dealers here in Canada used to stock them but not sure who made them.  Canadian Tire has something like this:

No experience with a stick on type.  Back when I used to run my vans year round (into -30 weather) I would use an oil pan heater and leave the trickle charger on all the time.  Had mixed success with a battery blanket.
