I'm about to try and add an ipod interface to my car this weekend and if by chance I unplug it I believe I'll need the radio code to reactivate it right? Where can I find this code? In the owners manual or on the radio itself (I doubt this). Which wire on the back is power? I've search but not found any thread with a similar topic.
Any help would be appreciated?

I would like to know this also as I am adding PHATNOISE soon :)
It has been discussed before and IIRC, the consensus believes that if you unplug the head unit, do "something", plug it back in = no problemo
Some have also stated that the "code" is on top of the head unit.

Sometimes the code is on the radio, sometimes not. I added an AUX adapter and I can tell you that I did not end up needing the code but your results may vary.
I *think* it needs a code when its a new radio in a different car. If its already mated to that car, the code isn't needed. I don't know for sure but thats been my experience

I think you can buy a new Symphony II radio for less money than the dealer charges for getting the code.
Just an FYI in case you immobilize it.

Mine were on the unit. If you can find the original radio booklet with your owners manual it should be in there as well.
