Have to be apart with my pony for 2 months. Should I unplug the battery? Will the radio ask me for passcode after power reinstalled? Thanks.

I believe the industrial recommendation is 30 days or longer, unplug.

Battery tender if it's inside or one of those cheap solar chargers that plugs into the lighter socket if it's outside. If you go the unplug route, just make sure you're not due for an emissions inspection when you get back as all the readiness codes will be reset and you'll need to drive it around for a few days to clear that.
