Anyway - now my key-fob won't work to lock/unlock the car. It starts fine, it's just that the key doesn't work. I tried a procedure to "turn the key" back and forth several-times, then hold buttons down, etc - but that didn't seem to work.

Did my car go into some sort of mode, or do I need to do something to re-initialize the key+car connection?
You need to reinitialize the key, and if you have two remote fobs, you need to reinitialize the second fob as well.
