Please note that all sentences terminated with the "?" mark are rhetorical.

So, do you have the installer code?  Were you even aware that the installer
code is NOT the master code?  If so great.  If not my way still works.
Guaranteed, no more annoying lights.  But, I am sure you feel you are the
smartest guy in the room and you will do as you said:

" I'll have to look into re-programming it myself  - disabling the dialer
shouldn't be that difficult, huh??"  Really?  Just like that huh?  People
didn't fall all over themselves to tell you what you wanted to hear, but
told you the truth instead and you don't need any help anyway.  Well if you
didn't need any help anyway why did you bother to ask?

There is nothing hard about programming many alarm panels, but without the
installer code you are totally out of luck.  Well, you could pull it and
ship it off to Jima Rojas to be unlocked, but he charges to do that.

Fun, no.  I have seen hundreds if not thousands of guys like you come and go
on this newsgroup.  Déjà vu.  All over again...
