Need help with alarm

[big_chris]

Ok, got a 2001 Bug Eye, Never had a key fob when I got the car so ordered a Key from steelers at a grand cost of £178. Problems I now have are:-

1. The key blade is a different cut to the key I have which obv means the car has had a lock barrel kit which I can live with and is not a biggy.

2. It appears that somebody has deactivated the alarm system and therefore cannot get key coded as the alarm has no power to it, i.e no flashing light on dash and keypad in dash has no lights on at all.

Does anybody know a common way in which the alarm can be disabled and is it a quick fix or am I gonna end up with an even bigger bill from the steelers??

it's probably had the code punched in on the keypad to shut it down completly..main dealer will be able to get the 4 digit code and hopefully sort you out..

It was taken to dealer and they said they don't know how they deactivated alarm.

As its been completely shut off/ deactivated will fitting an aftermarket and better alarm cause problems???

cracking main stealer then ...there shouldn't be any issues with the removal and installation of an aftermarket system
