Call your dealer with your car's VIN# and they'll give you your code.

Oh, also if you have all of your car's documentation, you might find a plastic card in your packet...looks like a credit card. There is a 4 digit number on that card (I don't believe it says it's your security code, for security reasons), but anyway, if you find that card, use the 4 digit number and that should work. Otherwise, some people write the number in the back of their owner's manual or if you pull the radio out, on the top of the radio with a permanent parker. Anyway, if you don't find it anywhere, then the only way is a call to the dealer. Good luck!

If you do have to call the dealer to get your code, then as MIJ suggested either write it down in your owner's manual or write it on the unit in permanent market. In all honesty, it's not likely that a factory stereo will be stolen out of your car, thieves usually target aftermarket units, so writing the code on the radio itself isn't terribly risky.
