Issues with iDrive after heavy rain

Hi all,

Just wondering if any of you have experienced issues with audio after heavy rain.

Absolutely bucketed down last night here in Brisvegas and this morning doing some errands the sound from audio was very patchy. In fact off much more than on. Initially I thought it was radio reception so switched to Bluetooth and after making connection it froze so obviously bigger issue. Will be interesting to see if it clears/dries up before drive to work tomorrow.

The upside was the torrential rain on the Opti Coat made the car look like I'd just washed it which it was well due for. Not one spot on it this morning. Amazing!!!

Experienced unbelievably heavy rain near Adelaide a few weeks ago - so heavy that you couldn't see more than 50 m in front.
No problems with the HK.

Just to clarify. Car was parked/stationary. I wasn't driving at time of downpour.

On way to work this morning problem continued. Audio came on under braking and went off under acceleration which would possibly confirm issue of water sitting somewhere.

Has been torrential rain here in Sydney and no issues except for being stuck in comfort mode, might be a particular production batch issue.

Gave the roof antenna a wiggle and problem has been resolved.
