Piece of cake.

I've sold thousands of Honeywell (nee Ademco) systems to DIYers.  About half of them employ some wireless and maybe 10% (wild guess)
use only wireless sensors.  Not one has ever had a hard time enrolling them.  After all, the system was designed so that alarm
installers can do it.  [reminds me of the Geico ad with the caveman in the airport].

If it's a modified Honeywell product he can replace the panel.  The sensors are the same.  If it's a standard Honeywell panel the
same applies.  The only issue is whether he can get the code defaulted since ADT is about as likely to give him access as you are to
admit you lied.  I don't know if Jim Rojas or Bob Campbell can default that model.  If so, he's in luck.  Otherwise, replacing the
panel AND a keypad only costs a little more than a new 6160 keypad alone.
