Probably need to take the radio to a GM dealer. As long as they know the code is needed for legitimate purposes they may be able to retrieve the code with the serial number, or maybe they might have a master code in the service dept. Even though there are no Pontiac dealers anymore a good GM service guy may be able to help you out with it.
Need a GM Tech 2. If you were near me I would do it for you. Here is the procedure:
Service Information

Radio Setup
Important: The Radio Setup option does not contain a submenu. Radio Setup will configure the following systems:
• Steering wheel controls
• Learn VIN
• DTCs
• Class 2 radio messages
The radio setup procedure will also clear the following messages:
• CAL
• CAL ERROR
• CALIBRATE
To setup a new radio for the vehicle, perform a VIN Relearn, located in the Special Functions section on the scan tool. Cycle the ignition when complete.
If the radio is not properly setup, the radio will display a locked message (LOC) or Calibrate.
Radio Tuner Calibration
Important: The Country Code option does not contain a submenu. Country Code sets the point of sale, or origin, in the radio in order to calibrate the tuner for the country that the vehicle will be used in.
To calibrate the radio, select COUNTRY CODE under the Special Functions menu on the scan tool.
Radio Chime Volume Selection
Important: The Loud Chime Volume option and Chime Level option does not contain a submenu. This selection is used for setting the volume when the radio is replaced.
To set the chime volume, select CHIME SETTINGS under the Special Functions screen and follow correct menu headings.

So I need a dealer with the special tool? It's for a friends Aztek that I replaced the BCM on. Thanks

Everything I read led me to believe that a BCM needed to be programmed. I took my friends car to the dealer and they had it for awhile then called me in to tell me the BCM is plug and play.
I thought it was odd that the advisor let me make the appt. come in etc then the tech says plug and play after the fact. I don't work for a dealer, so I have no access to any tools other than hand tools and code reader.

Nope, BCM is not plug and play as indicated by the General Motors Service manual that most lazy techs don't even read.
