jwk87 is on a distinguished road
Wet weather and my bluetooth sometimes work and rear camera doesn't.

Hi all,
I have a 2008 X5 e70. It is currently winter in Australia and of late been reasonably wet. I have noticed a few little things that I have put down to the weather and the fact that the car probably hasnt had a chance to drain or dry out of late.

I feel like my car is not draining water away quite as thorough as it should. On a fine day a few hours after its been raining, I notice a wet spot on the ground behind the right hand front wheel, I presume this is just water draining or dripping from the drain rails. I don't see any other water spots on the road behind any other wheels.

The main reason I think that my car is not draining the water is I think the weather has messed around with certain features of my car. The reverse camera is not working at the moment (but the sensors etc are) and my blue tooth appears to be going on and off line. I get a silent pause on the radio and it starts back up then blue tooth is not working. I maybe drive for a few minutes and then the same silent pause happens on the radio and when the radio station returns so does blue tooth. Sometime when the blue tooth disappears the NO SOS car phone symbol may appear (but not always).

The only other issue, I have with my car and again not all the times is the 4x4 and DSC alert warning comes on usually after cornering and early in the trip. I have read threads on it where it may be the wheel speed sensors, I reset the sensors by full lock to full lock and restart the car and that seems to (in the short term) fix the issue.

I think most of my concerns with my car is due to poor drainage, I wouldnt even know where to look to clear any drain holes, or even look to see where the blue tooth module is located to see if that area is damp/wet.

I must add none of the footwells in the car appear wet or damp.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers
Jason
