    Hi, hoping for any advice. I've had some strange electrical goings on recently and several garages are stumped, saying I should take to a specialist car electrician, which I did, but I haven't had much luck with him either so far! Let me start from the beginning... A month or so ago one of my...

    Hello everyone. Sorry for broken english, not my first language Around 2012 I bought a second-hand 1997 Golf mk3 Movie with electrical windows on the front. It came with a little circular keyfob (not the common Banjo looking one) for remotely locking and unlocking the doors. Many years have...

    I am posting this as I had terrible issues with both a Mk2 Golf GTI and also a CC, both suffered from an embarrassing situation with the Alarm going off for no apparent reason at various times of day. Sold the Mk1 as was so fed up with it but resolved the problem on the CC, which started with a...

    Someone could smash your window, and your factory alarm won't go off (ask me how I learned!), because because the factory alarm system has a very limited scope of sensors. One way to detect glass break or any other loud attempt to break into your car is with an audio sensor wired into the alarm...

If You have a MK4 Golf or GTI I can solve your Door lock module problems and show you how to set up a new keyless entry system and it will cost about $50 for you to complete it...

    Hello everyone, I have a 1994 VW Jetta III GL and I recently installed a Pioneer aftermarket radio. All wires are correct and it's grounded and the 10amp fuse isn't blown in the back of the radio. I checked all the car fuses, none are blown. Also the alarm stopped working. Would the alarm module...

    Hello all, newbie here...I have searched through the past threads on the subject but cant get a definitive answer to the problem we are having with our 97 Jetta GLS Basically the alarm goes off after driving and opening the door. The alarm seems to 'arm' itself when we are driving the car. I...

    Yesterday morning my car was broken into by having the driver’s door lock punched. The thieves left all the windows down and the tailgate open. The police (and auto-body repair guy) told me that they have seen alot of VW break-ins the past while. Thieves have found a way to bypass the alarm/shut...
  10. New Beetle
    My daughter has a newly acquired 2000 New Beetle. When she was starting the car tonight, the panic alarm went off. She waited 30 seconds for it to go off. Then it went on again several times when we tried to start the car. Pressing the red button on the key fob would not turn it off. Eventually...

    Hey all! New here as an actual member. I have an early 1999 Jetta Wolfsburg with 180,000 miles on it. Overall it has been a great car, that is until the other night. At first it started to "arm" the car while I was driving home from dinner. A few days later is started to be more persistent...

    Hello, How do I know if my car originally came with an alarm remote (for activating/deactivating the alarm)? It is a 1997 VW Golf Jazz edition. It has a little red blinky light next to the lock on the drivers side and chirps when I lock the car with the key. Should I have a remote? If so...

    Hello, While I'm waiting for my ignition coil to hopefully get my '97 Golf "Jazz" edition back on the road, I thought I would lean to you guys for suggestions on an alarm issue. My Alarm type: My car does not have a keyless remote, I use the key to lock/unlock doors. When I lock them there's...
