Something is wrong. [8D]

Go have the codes pulled. Last time I checked, Ms Cleo wasn't a member here.

is there anyway to pull the codes myself without a scanner thing ?.....i know on the fox's you can do it with a paper clip...was just wondering if there was a "homemade" way of doing these as well.

You need to have them pulled. There is no way to pull them without a scanner.
