This may not work with all radios but does for my 2004 Honda Odyssey with
RES. To find the serial number without removing the stereo. Turn on the key,
make sure the radio is off. Hold down the #1 and #6 preset buttons and turn
on the radio. It will then show the radio's serial number on the display.

This only works if the radio is locked out, you cannot find the serial
number that way if the radio is working properly.

Found this out after buying my 2004 Odyssey from a used car dealer. They
disconnected the battery for some reason and locked out the radio. This
disabled the stereo. There were no decals in any of the areas where they
should have been.

I got the serial number using this method, then called my local dealership.
They said they were not supposed to do so but gave me the unlock code over
the phone anyway.
