VW radio - is it possible to retrieve the code from the radio before disconnecting battery?

I have a friend who needs to replace the battery in a VW New Beetle. When the battery is reconnected, the radio will probably need its security code re-input. Is it possible to get the code from the radio now, while it is still active before the battery is disconnected?

1. Shortly put, no. I drive a VW Jetta with the Bose system. YOu absolutley need to get that code, or go to the dealership. (If you enter the code wrong three times in a row, you can't retry for six hours... be cautious)
