Check to make sure all the door pin/boot/bonnet switches are working and are being activated then the doors/bonnet boot are closed.

In some cars part of the security system is tied to the radio.

check the wiring on the radio, prob a problem with the dimmer function wiring. Its connected to the headlight circuit to dim the facia when you are night driving, must be something up there as i assume its only happened when the new stereo was fit....

Definitely agree if it's a VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda. If so, it sounds like call on a mate with VAG-COM and a suitable cable, a trip to your friendliest mechanic, or one to the main stealers in that order.
