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.

Why did your radio quit when you changed the battery on your concord?
The new battery was dead. ======================== Another contributor believes that this is the more likely answer: The 'newer' car radios, with programmable push buttons ... and other things where you can set it once and then forget it ... need to constantly connected to power or else they 'lose their memory'. When they're installed, there's a wire that stays connected to the battery even when the radio is off and the ignition key is out. If you changed out the battery on your car, then there was a time when this extra power wire to the radio went dead, and the radio lost its memory. You have to start from the beginning and reprogram everything.
