sounds like its in valet mode (or similar). check this thread for alarm info and how to reset it http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=110719.0

fuse box is in front of your right knee when driving.

That key thing is you alarm/immobiliser reset. If you cant get it to work on that glovebox insert then take car to alarm specialist. You usually have to push the fob thingy in hard.
