Wrong manual...alarm-questions

I bought myself an 98.5 A4 Avant 2.4 tip-tronic a while ago.
Unfortunately the right manual didnt find my way at the purchase - so i´m
stuck with a german manual for a pre-98.5 model.
That gives me some problems, because the 98.5-model had some minor changes
here and there.

I´ve been looking for a manual (for free )) on-line, but havent succeeded.
So i guess i need to go get me one the money-way.
In the meantime, i am having some problems with the alarm-system:

a) Key-less entry works fine, but i cant get the alarm to arm. Normally
there should be a LED (or similar) somwhere, that would indicate the
alarm/immobilizer is in effect. But i cant find/see any LED anywhere!? Where
is it?

b) In the pre-98.5´-model there would be a switch in the drivers-side
B-panel, that would allow me to switch off the internal sensors for the
alarm, if i leave "something/someone alive" in the car. Theres no switch in
that place in my car. Where should i look then?

c) Shouldnt the horn sound an audible *bleeb/honk* too, when the alarm arms?
(The german manual makes me think "what DID i actually do in german-classes
back in school!?" ;o))

Any help with the above is greatly appreciated.

A car that pricey, with everything else installed...and they would leave out
the alarm? I doubt it.
And why would anyone bother de-installing the alarmsystem...

I mean...why? *s*

Is there really noone that can help me on this subject?
Was it really an option to buy a 98.5 A4 Avant 2.4 Tip-Tronic WITHOUT alarm
installed? I havent managed to get hold of a manual for it yet - but all the
others i´ve seen, plus the one i have (pre-98.5), doesnt explain the
alarm-system as something that was optional.

*sigh*

Because the price of all the other options did not allow to add that one
to the car?

It´s a german import registered in Sweden.

Yup...hope noone notices *shudder*

Anyway...i really thought immobilizer AND alarm was factory-standard on all
Audi´s!?

That increases the chance that the alarm was simply not ordered. It's
NOT standard in Germany. AFAIK.

>Yup...hope noone notices *shudder*

There are some aftermarket evil looking blinking leds with matching
'cobra' alarm (or similar) stickers which might have a similar effect
on the potential thief.

Immobilizer yes. Alarm: No. Even today it isn't. Just look at the
german Audi website.
