On both my cars the sticker was under the hood and legible! And there was another copy in the service manual. Some nice person had written the radio code in each place before my ownership.
The dealer can get the code for you if you provide the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the serial number of the radio.
Post the serial number of the radio on renntech.org and there is a kind gent who can get you the code. There is a specific thread where you post the serial number and the gent gets back to you in a day or two with numbers to try based on an algorithm someone worked out.
How do I get the serial number?
For a Becker CDR220 (the most common Boxster radio, the one with a CD player inside the detachable front plate) you can turn the radio on with the power button, then press the TP button until Becker 1 appears on the LCD. Then use the right-hand knob to turn to the selection for "Seri:" which is followed by the serial number of the Becker CD unit.
The serial number is also on a sticker on the rear of the radio but you have to pull the radio to get at it. You need Radio pulling forks from Becker to do this. Any car radio shop or the dealer can do this for $$$. But why bother.
