if your car is a 996.2, then it will have a MOST audio system, which is paired to the DME.
There is no radio code (the unit will automatically re-pair on battery reconnection etc).
If the car is 996.1 (preMOST), then the radio code will be on a card in the document wallet (possibly long gone), or ask the DME.
A code reader will allow you to interrogate the DME, which stores the factory 4-digit code.

I have found a code card. Would this code ever have changed? There is one for the navigation, one for the pcm and a becker ident card. All have different serial numbers.
The reason I am unsure. The previous owner told me he had it reset because he didn't have a card

Mine is MY2002 facelift turbo. It has radio with cassette player and needed the Radio/PCM code when I replaced the battery. Luckily I had the DME download data printout that had the code.
So glove box yes, Facelift MY2002 yes, and cassette player so requires code meaning it is pre-MOST. I thought it was automatically MOST but not so.

The codes listed in the DME are for the original radio , if it has had a replacement then they will not be correct unless updated and this very rarely happens im afraid.
Sometimes the number will be something like 78540 .. the code is a 4 digit code so take the first 4 numbers and ignore the last .. 0 in this example.

Thanks for clarifying this. I thought (mistakenly) that the facelift in 2002 saw the move to MOST whereas this move was the following year.
Demort: Good point about the code being for the original radio.
Mine is all original so it wasn't something that crossed my mind.
