Default Car acting weird

My car is weird, when it was chipped yesterday, the speakers were making a weird noise, then the trunk started unlocking byitsself, then the power windows didnt work for like 5 minutes, and then I decided to switch it to stock, and everything was fine, even my check engine light went off, and I scanned it with the vag com and there was no fault codes. WTF is wrong with this thing???? Anyone?? Thanks

Disconnect both battery terminals and connect them together. This is called "Capacitive Discharge" and might help you, as it resets all the control modules in the car. Other than trying that, I dunno what could be wrong.

I usually drive the car in 93 program, when its nice out. But every now and then the passanger speaker makes a noise, sounds like the wires are loose, but thats not the case, and now the drivers side door tweeter started doin the same thing, and the worst thing is , it does it even after the car shuts off. But sometimes theres nothing wrong with the speakers, i mean sometimes its perfect, and then all of a sudden it starts again. WTF. I didnt have time to do what carson told me, but its my first thing to do tomorrow morning. other than that everything is fine. I will deff. let you know what happens tomorrow.
