Just as with the TDI which is a VW PD engine with VW engine management, the VR6 engine is indeed a VW unit running VW engine management, therefore you need something able to communicate with VW protocol, not Ford! About the only Ford items on the Mk2 Galaxy apart from the badges are the 2.3 petrol engine, 5 speed manual gearbox and the visteon radios!  :P
