2 things: HVAC and Text messages

Does the HVAC always on when you turn the car on? Mine turns on whenever I start the car. And why does my car not make a noise when I get a text? Is there a setting somewhere for either of these?

Hi,

1. The HVAC setting to stay in the last position you left it can be coded.

2. The new Text Message is always silent... Only a small envelope will show on the iDrive screen.

I found that the text message/emails/notification sounds only when you are in Media mode on idrive.

Great thanks guys. I have coded a lot already but not that. Strange that it has to be coded and even stranger are some of the decisions BMW made about shit like this.
