electrical issues

I have been having issues with the car alarm going off as soon as i lock the car. and also with my radio no being responsive and making poping noises when ever the dash lights like blinkers and high beam lights come on. wipers also set it off so does opening a door. of course the dealer can fix the proiblem becasue it will only do it on cold days like below -20C. so does anyone know how to get this fixed. im not getting stuck with the car out of warrenty and having these stupid issues. i got a video ill try to link to here in a while to show the radio problem.

Stock alarm? You are having a serious BCM melt down. I would peg it to an improperly shielded (my guess is that you have the ballasts mounted directly to the metal of the vehicle's chassis, which is bad), grounded, or powered HID kit or the wrong wire is tapped to turn on your aftermarket amplifier. Did you use relays to power the HIDs and isolate them from the stock wiring? Or are they just powered by the stock headlight harness (which is a no-no)? Where are you getting signal for your amp from for sound? Does your car have the Pioneer system? What year is it? SS/NA, SS/TC, SS/SC, 2.2?

my bad... yea its 2.2 LT 2008. this has been going on since car ws bought stock. see it stoped after the winter when it was warm so i decided to install the sub and hids and when winter came arround it started up again. so i dont think it was from the sub or hids, BTW hids are bi xenon so there relayed, grounded to a sanded metal gounds so i dont think its them and sub has since been removed so when i take it to the dealer AGAIN they cant blame it on that since it was doing it before it was installed. VIDS are uploading now just another sec

first time putting vids up let me know if they work..
