radio code / is the service mgr full of it??

i am trying to install an FM modulator on my SAAB factory radio. a cheap easy way to get my mp3s to play - that's all i need. I remembered before i started that i don't have the radio lock out code (have never needed it since i've owned this one). so, i set out to get it from my local buick dealer - who happens to also sell SAABs out on their back lot. the service manager told me they would have to get the radio out of the car and see if the "numbers on the back" (a.k.a. the serial #) match up with a code in the SAAB data base. If they are able to match up the #s, the radio has to be re-programmed with the SAAB tech computer and they want $95 to do all this...wha... HUH?!!? I was under the impression that if you provide them with the serial #, it's just a matter of looking up the code and entering it to get the radio back on line. It sounds like they are talking about marrying a new/divorced radio into my car. i'm amazed at how little these service techs know about anything that is out of warranty. what am i missing here?!?
