It stays with the radio. If the radio in the wrecked car was never replaced the code should be on file with MB and/or the radio mfr. If it was replaced at a dealer, the dealer should have gone the extra step to make sure the number was changed in Mercedes database, so even if the radio was replaced, MB should have the correct code on file.
You can try to see if the paperwork (code card) is in the car someplace, otherwise get the VIN number and ask a dealer to do a VMI for you and see if the code is on the VMI, it should be.
