No, it's not ruined. Most newer automobiles are equipped with a security code for the audio systems in the event that someone tries to steal the radio. Unfortunately, when you replace the battery, you kill power to the radio and the security code goes into effect. No one can the use the radio if they remove it from the car without entering the code provided by the dealer/manufacturer. You should have been given a little card if you purchased it from a dealership that had a 4 to 8 digit code that you can enter on the radio. If not, call a VW dealership and see what they can do to help you track down the code for your particular radio.
