Oscar if you're lucky someone thought ahead on this and wrote the code down on one of your vehicle ID tags. My radio and lug lock key codes were written on the vehicle ID tag inside the front hood. Search around on your car for all the ID tags and see if someone wrote it on one of them. Second if your radio is a Becker there are two buttons you can hold down on to bring up the code and you'll have to call a dealer to find out which two as I have forgotten. If you have a manual for your radio that might tell you as well or the code could be written in the manual somewhere. If all else fails you will have to take the car to an authorized dealer or mechanic and have the radio pulled to get the serial number off the back and Porsche will get the code for you. There will be a charge for this of course so look around first to see if a thoughtful individual wrote it down somewhere. If you have to pay the dealer to get it for you don't forget to be that thoughtful person and write it down where it can be found on the car. Best of luck.
