The guy at the parts counter is probably looking up the VMI on his computer by
searching the radio serial number field, I presume. Never asked if it’s
searchable by the different fields in the document - I’ll ask next time I’m
over there. It may also be searchable by the build sheet in the EPC,
I must have a good dealer then. I copy the serial number for the radio (or
maybe show the radio) and the guy at the parts counter gives me the code. I
must look honest.

Uh, yes it does. The code is in the VMI which is referenced by the VIN. You
give the dealer the VIN, they look up the VMI, which has the factory supplied
radio code in it.
That goes back well into the 1980s.
I’ve pasted a screen shot below of the VMI for my former 1990 350SDL’s VMI with
the
The radio code up to 199x has nothing to do with the VIN.

These days, just about everything you buy from a knackers (not a u-pull)
has the VIN on the invoice. (and if you 'rebuild' a salvage car, you
better have invoices for every part you used,
Drive to any dealer and they will help.

this afternoon, cobbled together a double male cable to plug into the aux
input on the cd player and
You can get a little FM transmitter too for the pod that will work sorta
OK on any radio that doesn't have an input. $30 at El Mercado de Wal.

What they do is provide an aux jack on the back that is wired into
the input from the cassette player.
As mentioned you could get a fm adaptor, but I'll point out some
other choices
a) Some xm radio receivers have transmitters and provide aux-in so
you can get xm radio and ipod input then
