some people on the forum have either recommended or had the alarm activated by going in for routine maintenance and or a CIP/Progman update; which in theory should reset the onboard computer and 'activate' your alarm. this is what i remember;... but it's been a while.
let me know if you get this to work, as it's something i've thought about doing myself. best of luck!

Can anyone recommend a SA at a Vancouver dealership who will do it in 1/2 an hour as our US members have been able to do?
