Installed codes

[jcorey]

How does one get the info on some of the installed device codes? I was wanting to toy with tweaking a mostly-working device. I'm not even sure I have the original remote any more, and wanted to test unused EFCs and such.

If you know the setup code, you can check the Advanced Codes List.

You can also check the device upgrade section for upgrades that work with your devices, and they may have EFCs that you can use.

and wanted to test unused EFCs and such.

Just build an upgrade with a whole load of EFCs that you want to test. Beware that - for a very few devices - you could stumble upon a service or set-up code that you can't back out of.

To save EFC punching work, you can find out how many bits your protocol uses, and how many your device uses so if it uses less than 8 bits, you don't have to check that many.

When making my recent CD upgrade, I found the protocol uses only 6 bits, and the device only responds to 4 bits, so that practically narrowed my test to 16 OBCs, although I made 4 upgrades with 16 OBCs each.
