I am having issues with my veh. When I drive or idling no matter where I go, all the lights in and outside of the car flicker. Example if I have my headlights on and roll down my window all the lights will go dim for just a second then go back to the regular brightness. When I accelerate the lights to not get brighter which I think may not be the alternator. The battery has been replaced in the veh so it is not a factory battery. I also noticed that when the car is not running and I am listening to the stereo and I turn it up the stereo cuts out. I think this is from not enough power is being sent to be used. I can not find out what to do with this issue. Any input would really help. Thanks.

Had same issue several times. Reprogramming of BCM cleared albeit no for good. Dealer can "repair" for about $150-$200.
