We have a '97 GL, no alarm.

Not stock.  :wink:

Could be any number or reasons.

How can you tell?  :huh:

I'm pretty sure it wasn't an extra from VW, maybe at the dealer and was upgraded by another professional?

It wouldn't surprise me if it was an optional extra as my 1996 GL has the alarm in place but it was disconnected, yet it has the sensors and cables running to a unit in the dash. I dare not to mess with it though lol!
