Virgin Post - Best way to test 01 Passat Alarm?

[ukjohnd]

Finally went back to a Passat after 4 long years with a Ford Mundano.

I'm parking my car in a rough old area some nights with a cacophony of car alarms going off, but have no idea what my Passats car alarm sounds like.

Any one know the best way to test it please short of putting a brick through my own window?

Welcome aboard!

Mine goes off if I do the following;

Lock the car.
Unlock the car using the boot release button (central one on the three button fob - press and hold until you hear the boot pop).
Leave the car (ie don't open the boot fully) until it rearms itself.
Open the boot.

Unlock car with key - open and close door and wait about 20 secs.( don't put key in ignition )

Park it in Leigh Park or Paulsgrove and leave it for five minutes!!
