DSC British Gas Home Security system

I recently bought a flat which had a British Gas security system fitted
already. My guess is that this is about 3 y old. The whole system seems
to be complete with wireless sensors in every room and one device
attached to the door. Having read through previous listings i can see
that it is usually a re-branded DSC that BG use, and that BG don't
give out the master codes for installation. In fact on the inside of
the LCD control paned there is a discreet 'DSC' in the corner.

Installing a security system that will only sound if there is a problem
(ie without necessarily linking up to a monitoring centre) will keep
the wife happy. As I want to save in paying for a complete new system I
was wandering if anyone could let me know if I can make use (or part
use) of the existing hardware.

For instance is there a way of me finding out the master code for this
system without subsidising BG's already over inflated profits?

Or, if ripped out their LCD control panel and replaced it with a new
DSC one, would it work with the rest of the hardware?

Many thanks and happy holidays,

Stef.

The codes are stored in the main alarm control panel, not the LCD keypad

Does that mean I will have to completely change the control panel too?
