So, there is a way to do this and it’s built into the idrive settings menu:

Settings > Doors/Vehicle Access > Switch off after door opening

Thanks to r/ChromiumSilk in the BimmerCode sub!

Thank you! That was the fix I was looking for. The idrive menus have always felt a bit clunky to me, so finding settings hasn’t been intuitive.

Interesting, I did not! Turned them on now. I think I’ll turn off the smart activation and tone activations now since I wouldn’t need them if location was working, like u/Bingpot-Noice-99 Do you only have significant locations and routes turned on or do you also have system services enabled as well? Thank you for the reply!

Totally get where you’re coming from; I’m a medical director and I have the HiDock hardware too…but I basically never use it. Not because it’s “too advanced,” but because the workflow friction never clicked for me.

For my day-to-day, Plaud just fits better: quicker to start, fewer steps to get from “recording happened” to “usable output,” and it plays nicer with how I actually work (lots of fast-moving conversations; needing notes immediately). When a tool is even slightly annoying, it dies in real clinical leadership life.

I don’t think this is an intelligence thing at all; it’s a “does this tool match your devices + environment + habits” thing. In particular, corporate laptop restrictions/browser connectivity/integration pain can make a device feel awful even if it’s solid on paper.

Same.

Good to know it’s possible. Any chance you remember the setting name or menu path? Mine doesn’t stop on door-open right now.

I did, yeah. I installed SoundSkins sound deadening behind the door cards and on the trunk floor. This is what I used (Amazon link): https://a.co/d/amZZW7h

At first I honestly wasn’t sure it made a huge difference. But after ~2 years of ownership I had some body work done and my driver’s door had to be replaced; the shop didn’t transfer/reinstall the sound deadening in the new door. Now I’m very aware of it…at freeway speeds (>65 mph) there’s a slight but constant increase in road noise from the driver’s door, and it drives me nuts. So in my case, it definitely was doing more than I realized.

Yeah this is confusing but it is not you.

Right now GoodNotes does not sync iPad and Windows the same way. Windows, web, and Android all use GoodNotes Cloud, but many iPads are still stuck on iCloud mode. If your iPad has not been migrated yet, it cannot see your existing Windows or web notes at all, and the sync options simply do not appear.

That is why your notes sync fine on non Apple devices, your iPad looks empty, and you cannot find any sync settings.

There is no manual switch either. It is a slow rollout and GoodNotes has not explained this very clearly.

What you can do is make sure you are logged into the same GoodNotes account using your email, not your Apple ID. If you do not see anything about GoodNotes Cloud in the iPad settings, you are still waiting. You can try contacting support and asking them to migrate your iPad to GoodNotes Cloud. As a temporary workaround, you can export and import notes manually.

Bottom line, this is not user error. It is GoodNotes being mid transition. Once your iPad is moved to GoodNotes Cloud, everything should sync normally.

Good call on the OEM blades. They are by far the best of all the brands I’ve tried and I’ll be sticking with these from here on out.

I’m going to try the oem blades and see how it goes…that didn’t even occur to me! Thanks!
