radio woes

Some background...
97 CSE
Radio has been flaky of late, music works, then cuts out, music works, then cuts out...etc. No static at all, just dead silence. Eventually, the music never came back.
CD and tape are fine, so amp, speakers and everything in between should be fine. Checked out the antenna, looked for any loose connections, seems fine. That left the tuner. I have a spare Alpine unit, so my goal was to hook up that guy in place of the factory unit and see what happens.
Got the factory unit out, and hooked the Alpine up. There was a 12V spare power cable in the dash, so I used that and then took the speaker harness from the dash and wired one set of car speakers to the output of the Alpine. Tuned it to a local station, no antenna required, and the radio showed a stereo lock on the station. Still no sound. I hooked up a spare speaker to the same output of the Alpine and got sound.
Put the old stuff back in and needed the radio code(learned about this after searching this site) which I don't have.
So....some questions:
1. What does the radio code, or lack there of, shut off, just the head unit, or the amp as well? Seems like the amp too.
2. Is there any way to use a new radio, Alpine, without having to go through the process of getting the code from the dealer?
Any help would be much appreciated.
