I have no clue where it is - I bought the car without it. Seems that dealers and others can look them up.

Thanks.

IM me with ALL the numbers on the radio.

You DO know how to pull it out, don't you?
If not, you will see a pair of small "slides" on each side of the radio, push them in with the tip of a pen, they will pop out, then pull, the radio will slide out.
Write down ALL the numbers on top and give them to me

Can't you just call any dealership and give them your VIN and they should be able to tell you???

In theory yes.
HOWEVER...
Many (most) dealers won't give it to you if they don't know you,
OR.....
The radio has been swapped for a new one, (common).
In that case the VIN won't do you squat. You then need to pull the radio as I described and get the numbers off of it.
You would be surprised how many parts guys do not know how to get the code by using the serial numbers!

Pulled the radio and found the code. Thank you JRL for the offer, though!

Glad I was of help and finally someone got smart and wrote the damn code on top of the radio.
I mean these radios are SO IN DEMAND

and are stolen every day

that you must be so protective of the code
