How do I get the code for my radio?

I have recently purchased a secondhand vehicle that recently had the battery replaced and the radio won't work. It requires a code but I don't have the code or the radio manual that has the code in it. How do I get the code for the radio?

Go to a dealer and ask them to help you, phone the relevant carmaker, or you could try a car radio specialist.
