Or: you can jump on the Rideline website and change the codes to whatever you want, eg. HM WRK UNI To do this you need to LOGIN on this site using your mobile number and a PIN. You can only change your codes on the website, not directly on your mobile. To get your own PIN txt 3666 with the msg ‘PIN’.
