54 gti 180 car drives fine no problems battery and alternator checked both fine,when you start car doors lock, stereo beeps, dash needles flick up, sometimes but not always display very dim but not dash display and when you drive random messages show up eg no cd, airbag fault, etc and keep losing time and date any ideas would be most welcome.

How did you test the battery? Did you drop test it or just check the voltage
If not could be a faulty bsi unit

BSI reboot? Unlikely but perhaps worth a try.
