not sure, but can you unlock the car with the key? Would that turn the alarm off? Or, once you get the car open...pop the hood and unhook the battery. Not the ideal way to go, but if all else fails.
I know my fob stops working occasionally. Even with a new battery.

i called up a vw dealer today and the guy told me to unlock teh door with my key, then open and close the trunk with the key. after that the car should start, and it did. I think after changing the battery, the key just needed to be re-paired with the computer.
