There are many threads about the Radio Code and ways to recover them if they came with a security code in some markets. Very few X300s are using the original radio unit so chances are the code might have been written down somewhere else, on the unit itself (have to remove the radio to see it) or somewhere (e.g. on the owner's manual, under the bonnet, carpet, inner sill, etc. My recent thread Radio Code Recovery has more details.

When I swapped out the radio from my donor car into my daily driver I also needed the code. I rang my local Jaguar main dealer and gave them the vin from my daily driver, presumably to verify that I was the bona fide owner of the car. I also gave them the serial number which was on the replacement radio and within a few minutes they were able to give me the code. And it didn't cost me a penny! I'm based in Ireland FWIW.
