Default Alpine Symphony - how to get the code?

I bought my 4th R75 yesterday. A low mileage 1.8, very clean one owner car which spent last 14 years standing still in a garage in Munich, Germany. I got it with all the board literature, 3 keys, security wheel nut, but one thing is missing - the card with radio code. Is there any way how to decode it? I tried to connect TOAF to the car, it scanned it ok, including the radio, but have not found any option for radio decoding. Will be most thankful for any advice how to wake it up.

one trick that might resolve this for you...
the code is often on a sticker on the radio unit,
if you remove it and have a look.. good luck.

So I removed the unit, but no sticker with security code was there :-( Just the manufacturer's sticker and engraved serial number. Anyway, thanks for trying to help.

Previous owner is not named on V5 now due to data privacy, unless V5 is an old one.
