De-Locking

Thinking about De-Locking my Polo Sport and was wondering what would happen if the remote failed. I know I could go through the boot but as soon as it’s opened the alarm goes off.
Is there a way to de-activate the alarm and release the dead lock?

The alarm should not go off if you open with the key, many a time I have open my boot with the key and the alarm has not gone off. Just keep an eye on the battery

If you unlock the boot the alarm will de-activate like normal won't it

i've never opened my car via the boot key, but if i unlock the car fully, and only open theboot my alarm goes off as the car self locks. (if that what you mean?)
i had my 6n totaly de-locked, just keep as eye on the battery of the car AND the fob. it's a good mod as it's also safer

Tested it today and the alarm goes off as soon as I open the boot (without de-activating the alarm from the fob).
Does anyone know what would happen if I un-locked the boot and climbed through into the car and tried to start the engine? I want to try it but I think I'll get some funny looks if I do it outside my accommodation lol. I mite try it when I go home for Christmas though.
I really want to do this mod but I don't want to get caught out with one of the batteries dying as I spend a lot of time away from home.

If you unlock the boot, and climb in without deactivating it, it will always go off

Now I’m back at home for the Xmas I decide to see what happened if I went go through the boot.
Well, I opened the boot (alarm started to go off), claimed through and tried to start the engine…
Bingo the engine started, the alarm stopped and the deadlock was released.
De-locking is now under way…
