Since none of the Brinks products are keypad programmable (they utilize
a hand-held programmer manufactured by DTI/Scantronic that *any* alarm
dealer in the US/Canada can purchase from GE) "unlocking" this board
would prove a fruitless exercise, but by all means "fill your boots".
The programmers are regularly offered for sale on eBay as well.  The
programming "map" would be a good thing to get a-hold of and it
shouldn't take much to reverse engineer it (or find some disgruntled
Brinks employee willing to part with it).  That way someone could "rent"
the programmer (along with explicit directions on how to use it with
*any* Brinks product) for a small fee.  You'd have to ask for a deposit
(that would cover the cost of the unit) which you would return to the
customer once he's sent it back to you.  The programming
map/instructions he could keep.  This could be "big".  Some could even
call it a "movement".
