... I suspect that they are thinking about a newer car ... where you can "talk" to the radio via the OBD ... if you give them the serial number for the radio they should be able to look up the code on the computer.  I've heard some dealers are expecting you to pay for this service nowadays ... 

Back in the Didi days I needed this and she just looked it up.  The only thing they wanted to prevent was legitimizing stolen radios ... which in effect eliminates any value in coding ...
