How do you deactivate the anti-theft system of Volkswagen cars?

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Checks and maintenance

Here we have at our disposal a very clear video tutorial that explains in great detail how to deactivate the alarm of your Volkswagen car, specifically talking about the 2010 Volkswagen Polo. Let's proceed: we lock ourselves inside the vehicle, making sure that all doors and the rear hatch are closed properly, and press the button next to the driver's seat to deactivate the alarm, making sure that it lights up. After that, we get out of the car and close the doors properly, then activate the central locking system without the alarm. That's how it's done.
