On the top of the radio probably, or possibly the back, starts with "M"

If it's a MK6 you can get the serial without removing the radio

That's buggered that then! That would be a MK5. If it were a MK6 you simply turn on the radio, hold 6 and tap 2 and the serial appears on the display.

usually poking some nails or similar long thin objects in those holes will alow it to slide out.

Use a wire coat hanger and bend it into two 'u' shapes, push them in and it'll slide right out, you won't scratch anything.
