Not sure about the Mk5's but with the Mk4 GTi's you had to be careful when buying an import as the alarm was often missing.  That and having no speakers in the back - I think this is still a 'feature' of many imports.

As I said earlier I HIGHLY doubt VW would send a 22k GTI out the factory without an alarm.

Exactly.  I think it was only the very basic poverty spec Mk5 Golf which had no alarm in the UK.  Though standard fit may be different in different countries.

Seems to be just an option in Ireland (like everything else), but at least my car does have the alarm.  I'm surprised the GTI comes with a honeycomb grille and alloys as standard in Ireland!  I've said it before and I'll say it again - you Brits dunno how good you have it when it comes to buying cars.
