unlock your door with the workshop key [or without using the fob to unlock it...] that'll set it going alright!!!

The siren is located behind the rear LH panel underneath the subwoofer. I came across it when doing some exploring. Best to take off the whole rear panel, start by removing the backdoor trim above the spare tyre, then you might have to remove the rear seating panel, then find the screws for the rear panel (1 above the rear lights inside the compartment, one in the front corner), then you'll have to pull the trim off which can be a bit grim as the clips sometimes break. 3 bolts to take out the sub, then you'll see the central locking pump - cut the cable tie and pull it to one side, you'll now see the siren. Also there is some kind of control box tucked neatly behind the body frame.
