I post this mainly because when it happens again, I will have something to
refer to, suffer from CRS if you know what I mean.

Again, on the 2000 SL2 (not sure what else this might apply to), once you
get LOCK with the radio turned on, turn it off and depress keys 1 and 2 at
the same time. You get some 4 digit code. This is what Saturn has to call
in to the secret place and get you the real code. I tried all the internet
stuff about calling some 8YY number, but was never successful. Anyway, once
the real code is obtained from Saturn (or however you do it), turn the radio
on with the key in the run position and the radio displaying LOCK. The
radio must be on and LOCK must be displayed. Leave it like this for an
hour, then you will get the ----, then you can enter the code that Saturn
gave you. It worked fine on my vehicle.
