If you don't have the key fob - remote un/lock fob

disconnect the earth from the battery (black Lead)

****************************************************

reconnect the battery black terminal and it should not activate the imobliser.

I have starred out the main point as you do not have an active alarm or imobilser at this point.

if you could supply an email address i could email you the details.
