I have a 97 Jetta and to arm the alarm you just lock the driver's door. I locked the door while it was open and I heard the armed beep but the door didn't lock. I went and opened the door and the alarm went off. To disarm it normally you just unlock the door or turn the key in that position. I did that I also tried locking and unlocking the door and that didn't work The alarm shuts itself off after about five minutes but goes off again if I try to start it or get back in the car. The alarm is connected to the starter circuit which makes it so I can't start the car at all. I have tried pulling plugs and such but that didn't work. I don't think disconnecting the battery will help because then I still won't be able to start the car. MY NEIGHBORS HATE ME!!!
