If you rule out the more serious problems, of something wrong with the alarm, or the remote itself is defective, then it sounds like the remote needs to be programmed.
On a 2001 Volkswagen, this is a process that requires two keys.
Insert master key into the ignition lock & switch on the ignition (do not start car).
Using second key lock the vehicle from the outside manually (use key in door lock).
Press unlock button on the remote control one time, wait at least two seconds or more.
Manually open car using key in door lock.
Remove key from ignition.
Test your remote.

How do you reset alarm system in 2000 beetle?
The batteries in my hand held remote started getting weak and the car alarm would go off as soon as I tried to start the car everytime so I took the remote apart and took the batteries out until i could find new batteries for it. I just use the key with no problem with alarm anymore.
Is it true that the smoke alarm batteries should be changed every year?
Yes, if the smoke alarm has replaceable batteries, they should be replaced at least once per year.While you're at it, you should also test the smoke alarm BEFORE you remove the old batteries, to see if it was already dead, and perhaps test the old batteries before you dispose of them. That way you might determine whether your old batteries were already putting you at risk and, if so, perhaps start changing or testing them more frequently.
