HELP: Radio doesn't work

Help! This must be the second problem I've had with BMW radios. Both of them were the BMW Professional radio.

Here's the situation. If it rains or snows hard (must be the moisture) like we had last night, my car's radio doesn't seem to work. Like the radio turns on fine and all, but no sound AT ALL. The only sound I get from the speakers is if I go over 100 km/h, there's this faint squeeking/squeeling sound coming from the front driver speaker.

This only happened once in my 335, and when I had my loaner 328, I had the same problem once.

So... in summary:

Problem: Radio speakers don't work when it rains/snows heavy
Notes: 1. Only occurs when it rains/snows.
2. Seems to go away after a few hours if I come back and turn the car on.
3. Does NOT go away if I turn the engine of and restart.
4. Speakers don't work at all from 0 km/h, but emit faint squeeking sound over 100 km/h.
5. If I go under a bridge or overpass where there is no water under the tires, there is no speaker squeeking regardless of speed.
6. I cannot increase the volume of the squeeking. It can come on even when the radio is off.

Any ideas? Causes?

Thanks!

have you try to similate the rain with your hose for like 3-5 mins and check if the radio work or not? if the will make you radio go wild, then you can ask the dealer do the same and show to them...just a thought!!
