you can do the stomp test to retrieve the codes (do a search if you don't know how, the code list will probably come up in the same search)

That is correct, U.S. models only, was required from somewhere 1988 or so, Bill B once mentioned that.
Winfred probably did not check his profile, so that is why I found that he is from the U.K.

That's what I figured, Winfred didn't notice the "UK Spec" in his profile, which is why I mentioned it.
I didn't want him to drive himself nuts trying to do the stomp test.
