My adventure in radio code land

My local (tucson, AZ) said they would charge me $45 to put the codes in the radio which include removing the radio to get the SN and programming. I went to them, they got the radio SN and made a mistake programming, I had to wait an hour with the key inserted and then insert the correct code that they provided - but no charge - Woo Hoo! :D
Got home and followed their directions but it did not work. I figured I must have done it incorrectly. Waited another hour - same thing.
I called VW and asked them to verify the codes. They gave me some different ones. Waited another hour - same thing. :bloated:
I used some jewler's screwdrive and extracted the radio and discovered the dealer copied the radio SN incorrectly. :mad: Another call another SN another no workee!:confused:
The good news is the dealer told me to come in and they would get it set correctly. We'll see monday....
