Even if the alarm system fails it dont think it will really matter. The keypad is self contained and maintains its own pin codes etc. It triggers a relay to turn the alarm on/off (as far as I can tell). I think it also triggers the relays for the central locking.
As far as I know the AUII has two relays for the doors - one which unlocks the drivers side and one which unlocks the other three.
I figure its unlikely for both to break at the same time so I should always be able to get into the car.
(So long as there is power, and if the battery is flat the car is not going anywhere unitl I get some power from somewhere. When I do I can power the door system from the side of the car as I mentioned.)

Yeah its only supply you have to worry about and keeping the supply points well hidden, the keypad will art a thief to look for something different so those auxilliary terminals will have to be behind a panel that requires tools and Time to remove. And for some the keypad will be like a steal-me magnet, some thieves like a challenge too.
