Radio Won't Come On

Radio Won't Come On
My '91 964 was not started for 19 years.
The radio is a Porsche C2 (with disc player)
I found a plastic card with a four-digit radio code and a long alpha-numeric number.
I turn on the radio and the screen LED reads out "OFF"
The radio gives no instructions to insert the code. Even if it did, the buttons have numbers 1 through 6, and my code has a "0" in it.
Does anyone know the procedure to make the radio work again?
I am hundreds of miles from a Porsche dealer. I have called several Porsche dealers and nobody there remembers a '91 model procedure. I have not found the procedure on the web, either. The local radio shop has no idea how to restore the radio's operation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks - but no workie. I stuck the end of a paper clip into a hole and got the CODE to light up on the radio, a big victory. Then, I depressed one of the pre-set radio buttons six times, because the first digit of the four-digit code is "6," but the CODE flashed off before I got to 6 depressions. The plastic card with the radio code should be correct. Any suggestions?
