Title: ALL SI Models - option of adding a passcode on startup for security
Post by: Rough House on April 09, 2013, 08:27:41 PM

Model:	ALL SI Models
Suggested Upgrade:	option of adding a passcode on startup
Explanation:	Id like the option of adding a 4-6 digit passcode on the startup of my unit.  So the unit is essentially locked until you punch in the correct passcode. Like how passcodes are on cellphones. Something you could turn off and on in the menu as an option.  Something to deter thieves from stealing electronics. if you don't know the passcode, the unit wont go to the next screen.  I keep my boat in a marina and don't want to have to keep taking my unit off my boat every time I leave.

That's true. I see your point. It would be a lot harder to try and sell the stolen merchandise thought since its locked.  I think every company should do this.
