What an idiot!  The idea is to make it more expensive to do a takeover.  Instead of replacing the whole panel, a competing alarm
company can simply swap the chip.  However, with the keypad compatability number altered they would have to replace the keypads as
well -- at significantly higher cost.  The thinking (I know, that's a foreign concept to you) is that the new alarm company will try
to foist the expense onto the customer but the customer will balk, opting to stay with the original alarm sealer.
