R58 Radio Code?

Radio Code?
I recently purchased a used 2012 Mini Coupe. It came with one key and an owner's manual, so I am already behind the curve.
i just replaced the thermostat unit and plastic coolant pipe because the Mini set a Check Engine about coolant being too cool. The thermostat was stuck open.
I want to clear the codes by disconnecting the battery to reset the ECU, but I am afraid that the radio will ask for a code to operate again. I don't have the car radio manual.
So my question to you Coupers is, does the 2012 Mini radio require a code after losing battery power?

I've had two GEN2 and don't recall a code for either ..... nothing in the book about one for my 15 R59
I think the embedded / buried radio made that kinda moot .... in my 83 VW-vert' where you popped a piece of plastic trim and two spring clips and the head unit was in your hands. Had 2 radios stolen from that one in 2 years living in Miami in the 80's. Finally put in a cheap radio and it was never touched again.
