Sit in car. Close door.
Switch on ignition.
System will remain in programme mode for 30 Secs.
Briefly press either button on the remote and release.
Central locking system should have cycled and locked and unlocked the doors.
Your key is now ready.
You will needs to think of it this way. Once you set your alarm it is looking for the corresponding signal to disable itself. That comes from the fob. If you don't use the fob and just use the key, the alarm system is doing its job and alerting you since it has not received the disable command from the fob. Either lock the door with the button when you exit the car if you want to use the key or use the alarm fob. This will also happen if you use the car manufacturers fob to unlock the car if you have locked it with the alarm manufacturers fob.
Hope that helps - I have hidden all of my original car fobs to help alleviate this problem!
If you have a valet feature on the alarm, turn it on and that should stop the alarm from sounding. Your best bet is to get a replacement remote and use it to disable the alarm correctly.
Try unlocking it from the passenger door (with the key). the driver door lock has a weak connection that wears out, then the car doesn't "know" you unlocked it from driver's side.
Do you have the key fob to unlock it? If so, use it (unlock) then open the pass. door.
Please let me know if this worked!

We have a similar problem - it doesn't go off when we open the door,
but sometimes the alarm light stays on after we open the door and then
when we put the key in the ignition to start the car the alarm goes
off. The only thing we've found to shut the alarm off is to get out of
the car and put the key in the trunk manually and open the trunk. Then
after we've opened and closed the trunk, the alarm disables and then we
can unlock the doors (which I believe is the step where the alarm
disables) and then we can start the car without a problem.
