Replace the housing, some of the time the keypad under the housing is already a M3 keypad. Just get a M3 housing (bit hard to find nowadays). Dump the s-rec of a ASIII radio to your target radio. Align it to spec.

Feel free to correct me if needed :)

S record of the radio. Basiclly the radio codeplug but in it's unpacked form. You need to use MTSX Lab to dump the s-rec to the radio. You can probably ask someone for this file. But asking for the software to do so is definitely out of the bounds.
