Z4 E89 Radio & PDC not working

Hi, I have a 59 plate E89 2.3i,
It may be a coincidence but after some very heavy rain my radio & PDC have both stopped working. The radio wont turn on at all & the PDS light
on the button goes on but there is no beeping nose to indicate that you are getting close to an object. I assume they are linked in some way but not sure how. I know a few mechanics but non of them BMW ones. Can someone please point me in the right direction ?

Need to get to the bottom of it…water corrodes connectors and components so if it is water needs to be sorted before permanent damage
