Default "Service Theft System" light keeps coming on?

About once a day or roughly every 4-5 times I start my 05 V, the "Service Theft System" notification keeps popping up on the head unit, & the light also pops up on the cluster. The car drives fine with it on, but usually when it pops up, I shut the car off, restart it, & it goes away, but it is pretty annoying. Anybody know what would cause this & how do I fix it?

Am I the only V owner who has this issue?

It's probably a bad electrical connection (cue ominous chime). I got the same message when I took the interior panels off my front doors. It went away when I reinstalled them.

I had the same issue for about 2 weeks...and then it just stopped. I have no clue what caused it.

Could be signs of your battery taking a ****.
