I have an SL and know I will have to replace the battery. The code will have
to be re-entered into radio/cd player on the dash when I take the old
battery out and new one in because of the complete stoppage of electricity
to radio.
How can I get around not knowing the code?

You can call the local dealer with the VIN and they will give you the code
for the radio.
You can also attach a second battery with jumper cables while you are
replacing the battery. This way you won't be interrupting power.
