My alarm is intermittently producing a beep in the driveway. I've checked all the doors, the hatch, ensured there are no lights on inside or out... It appears to lock normally when I click the "lock" button on the remote. Every 5 or so minutes it gives a beep. Any ideas?

You probably have a bad microswitch in the door latch assembly. It lets the computer know if the doors are open or not.

WHAT IS THE RIGHT TIME TO CHANGE THE TIMMING BELT
SOURCE: VW Beetle Alarm goes off for no apparent reason
the sensitivity on the alarm itself is too high, or there is something around the car that is interfering with the frequencies that are sent / received by the alarm itself, like other car alarms, power lines (mine actually did it when i parked under a power line) or the alarm unit itself is malfunctioning.
make sure that nothing is around to the (other cars with alarms) or look up under your dash, above your pedals (might have to take the trim plate off) and / or turn the sensitivity knob (flat-head screw driver, or just a simple protruding knob) down. make sure the battery in the remote is good too. if it stil ldoes it after this, then your remote needs to be reprogrammed.

The door latch located in the door panel has a micro switch built into it assembly. It is what detects an open door. A new latch is about $150. If you could find a shop to replace it for you. You could also try buying some plastic-safe contact cleaner/lubricant and spraying the latch assembly out and opening/closing the door a few times to work it in.

I might have the solution for your problem. I paid $1,700 to learn it.
I might start a class action against VW
