Bad experiance with Volkswagen.

Very disappointed at Volkswagen I am a pensioner and with the lockdown my Polo 2016 battery run flat after charge I put it back and the radio need a code I did not know that there is still cars with radio codes it so old school, but at least in the old days you did get the code from BMW or Merc for free. Not at Volkswagen no you have to take the car to them and pay R.550 for the code well I cant afford it so I have to go without the radio its a pitty that there are always people that want to rip you off.
