U.S. models never had a cassette tape, but cassette was standard on JDM and EDM cars in '99-'01. To play CDs, JDM and EDM owners had to get the optional trunk-mounted 6-disc changer.
The OP's head unit is somewhat different from the standard 1999 JDM one, even accounting for possible LHD vs RHD layout. But then I've never seen images of the '99 EDM radio so it's certainly possible that it's an S2000 unit.
Regardless, as Chuck notes, all Honda head units should have the P/N and S/N printed on a label on the housing.
A cup of coffee and Google is convincing me this is a non-North American radio so even if you can determine the code it will not work here due to frequency bands and station intervals.
I suspect the L/M/U button has something to do with the radio frequencies, something I've not seen in US car radios. Same for the TPA/RDS button. RDS embeds digital data in the radio signal which is why radio station letters, music titles, etc. appear on the radio display -- standard on some cars. Not sure what TPA does nor why the need to switch between the two. PTY is common and allows setting the radio when scanning to stop at specified genre like Oldies. Rock, Classical, etc.
Junky's offer seems good if you want a period radio in the car. My notes indicate the same radio was used 00-03 so one from 01 is "correct."
Most likely the poster is in one of the LHD Euro countries. Here's another one,
Going back to his original question, the best bet is for the original owner of the radio to contact a Honda dealer with chassis number of the car it came out of and request the radio code.
I'm beginning to suspect this may be a radio from a different Honda.
Photo (off Ebay) of a S2000 radio/tuner Part number 39101-s2a-a110-M1 which is correct for 00-03 model years. Note the placement of the 1 to 6 numbers matches the Service Manual illustration.
CD only, no cassette tape. One of our historians may know if there was ever a cassette tape option in the S2000 radio.
Shows serial CDB 2400 5757. I'm guessing the last 8 digits are what should be displayed.
Is there a label like this? What's the part number? Google the part number and see what radio it is.

Sorry guys for the late answer, I was even not notified for all the lastest messages.
By googling the P/N I figure out it is well a AP1 car radio. See the sticker below.
You can see a number called S/N above the sticker, but my Honda dealer told me the S/N for my case starts by 2 or 3, here it is 9.
Thanks for coming back! Thought we'd lost you! As far as I know the UK and EU radio frequencies all adhere to the same radio treaty/agreements going back decades. We have several members there who can confirm their current status.
One of these radios is listed on UK-Ebay for £60 with the radio code. Listed for the 1999-2002 Accord but I see no reason Honda would have a specific radio for the S2000. If you have need for a radio receiving these frequency bands -- and cassette tape -- I'd spend the money and fit it unless someone comes with a magic way go get the radio code from the radio you have.
Poking around non-USA Ebay sites there seem to be dozens of suitable Honda radios for these frequency bands. Almost all offer CD rather than cassette. But it seems like some more research is needed if you're looking for a 100-point restoration and not just a radio.

Great idea. I don't think there is any device checking the radio matching between Honda models from those years. I'll think about that. Thank you very much
