I have a 2000 jetta 2.0 , i bought my car with the spair key only no key remote, so now ive always been locking my car with the spair key so when i lock my driver door thats when my alarm is activated, as i try to unlock my door to take my alarm off it doesnt! my little red light stays on! all i want to do is disconnect it but i do not know how! someone please help! where can i get a layout of my car alarm or something!

 

where did you buy it? contact the seller. this is not normal.

 

is it a factory alarm? if so, did it used to have an aftermarket alarm?
i agree with flora, that isn't normal.

 

I am having an issue with my 01 jetta gls vr6 with the alarm. I can use the remote to open the car but when i open the drivers door it doesn't recognize that i opened the door. The light doesn't come on and it doesn't deactivate the alarm. So if I don't put the key in it before it locks again or some one else doesn't open another door the alarm doesn't deactivate. I have looked every where for a switch maybe or even in the factory repair manual and can't figure out what it is to replace it. Does any one know what it may be?
