From Andy Smith

I first demonstrated this to friends some 8 years ago, using an HP 95 LX. Not
only did we manage to record and open the locks of three Renault 19s and two
Renault 21s; once we had the format of the codes, it was easy to write a small
program that cycled through various iterations and popped the locks of further
Renault cars. I sent a letter to Renault at the time of the discovery but never
heard anything back.
