 Volks Dealer ( Clarkdale in Vancouver) but they had no idea either. Do
 you know if an alarm can be installed in the 1991 Westfalia (Vanagon
 style)... The dealer is now trying to find an answer to that question
 but haven't found any yet. >>

They're idiots!!  There's a great place in the front of the van beside the
lower grill underneath the right headlight.  You can attach it directly to
the front sheet metal of the van behind the portion of the lower grill which
only covers sheet metal.  It will be very well protected there and difficult
for a theif to disable.  I'd consider a different alarm place that's smart
enough to be able to find a spot for a siren.

Good luck,
