Re: Factory alarm/remote entry system

 Joe,

The push button you found is used for programming the keyless entry system
(I'm assuming you must have that option, since that's the function of the
button on my GLX).  When the keyless entry control unit is put into
programming mode, the control unit can "learn" up to four transmitter
frequencies.  There is a document outlining this procedure, and your local
VW dealer should have it.  If you have trouble finding a copy, I have one
that I could possibly scan and email to you.

Hope that answers your quesiton,

Guys,

I was just fiddling with my new stereo for my 95 GLX when I noticed a
small Push Button switch just inside the fuse box door on the left side.
It looked totally after market and much like a switch you would find on
a car alarm.  Like a bypass switch or something.  Does anyone have an
idea what this might be??  I'm thinking it is related to the Factory
alarm/remote entry system.  And YES I am the original owner, and NO,
I've had nothing installed after the original purchase of the car. It's
totally stock.

Ok, don't everyone run out to your cars in the middle of the night to
check this out!  Your neighbors will see you in you underwear and call
the cops. :-)

Later,

Joe
