Most (99%) of all lexus owners never set a code on there radio. The factory set code is the last 4 digits of the key code, Although I have heard it is the last 4 digits of the vin #. Either way I beleive you have 10 tries. I have never heard of anyone needing a code for there audio. What are your concerns ?

don't worry about the keycode. Lexus radio is smart and it is designed for each car. So if you battery is disconnected, and you don't need to enter a code. I got my battery disconnected once, I didn't have to enter a code at all.

Correct disconnect at your leisure. I did to self install XM receiver. Hooked everything back up and 14k miles later no problem.
