dead remote, etc

re-initailizing, remote / alarm ?

'97 Z3 2.8

1) my remote is not functioning. new battery, LED comes on, but does not activate the door locks or alarm. Any ideas?

2) also the red indicator light situated between the two switches for the seat heaters is constantly on. Is this the airbag light? NOT

OK, I now realize this light is for the dealer installed alarm system. Which is not documented, or at least I don't have a manual.

Can anyone point me to the proceedure to re-intiialize the remote ad/or alarm?

Thanks

It is my understanding that the dealer has to do this, but I am not certain of that.
