It’s usually in the owners or service manual. If not you must call a dealership.

+1 for checking manual.

It seems like I had a car once with the “radio code” written under the hood somewhere. But I could be thinking of something else.

If you have any service receipts from the dealer, check there. For my previous car, the code was printed on them.

For cars I have owned that used a radio code, the service writer at the dealer could look it up based on the VIN, or in the case of my old BMWs, based on the radio serial number that required pulling the radio part way out to read.
