Hi, I have got a problem with my alarm, I have a '97 golf gti 8v, and it has a standard vw alarm which is made by scorpion, it has a remote plip with one button, now when i got the car, it came with 2 remote plips, but only one worked, i presumed the battery was flat on the one that didnt work, but when i put a new battery in, it still didnt work, and when i say didnt work, i mean that the led doesnt light up! sometime ago, the working remote started to be a pain, it would only ar or disarm when it felt like it, and one day it took me over 15 mins at work to disarm the alarm, so I stopped using it. Now the real problem is, I had to put a new battery on the golf, and when i connected up the new battery, the alarm reset itself, and I cannot find the working remote! I have looked everywhere, and I found the spare keys with the non working remote, and also it has a small round barrel key, now I also have a '95 gti 16v that also has a round key like this, and it fits on the alarm to disarm it, but the '97 gti 8v alarm doesnt have a key hole for this small key, so my question is, where the bl***y hell does this small key fit? also as I dont want this problem in the future and also so I can use my gti, how can I take this alarm out, I have looked at the haynes manual and all it says is to contact vw, which I did and they wanted to charge me about £240 to sort out!!! and also understandibly haynes dont show a wiring diagram for the alarm, but someone must know a diagram or somehow to disable this dam stupid alarm!
Cheers
