Last time I had this problem (with a Mercedes), it was an in-line fuse next to the alarm brain, which was under the footplate of the passenger front-seat. I remember my wife's new beetle diesel had the same arrangement... an in-line fuse that is, but I never had to find it, so I am not sure where they hid the brain in that vehicle.

If the alarm is 'factory', I would call the dealer and ask them where the fuse for it is hidden.

Oh... and the battery on the remote is for-sure good? Both our Volvo and our Saab have a 'weak remote battery' message on the dash reader, which has saved us some trouble.
